Abstract

On September 20, 1925, Henry Ford predicted in an interview published by the Christian Science Monitor that “ethyl alcohol will be the fuel of the future.” This chapter will be dedicated to addressing the operation and design characteristics of ethanol pipelines. Its focus will be on presenting the Brazilian experience in this segment.
