A aprendizagem na produção de bioenergia canavieira da indústria de segunda geração o caso Granbio

Abstract

The sugarcane agribusiness, one of the most traditional of the country, is living a moment of reflection and change with the advent of second-generation ethanol (2G), enzymatic hydrolysis process, with the deployment of the first commercial-scale plant, the GRANBIO. Evolutionary / neoschumpeterian literature is used as a theoretical framework and a review of literature on sectoral systems of innovation, learning processes and the accumulation of technological capabilities. The main challenges direct the research areas supported by SSI and relates to the increased productivity of the raw material through the cane-energy development, and its technical difficulties are concerning the adaptation of new varieties in different edapho-climatic conditions, the adequacy of management techniques with development of planting and harvesting and storage techniques machines; Improvements in the manufacturing process are related to the development of new technologies for increased efficiency using in the new biotechnologyc paradigm. The organizational level has a necessary changes in the learning process and technological capacity to build the firm to achieve endogenous production levels of technology. It was found that all research developed in Brazil around the 2G ethanol partnership with research centers and universities, coming from Sector System sugarcane Innovation, created to sustain and support the metalworking industry, the producers of sugar and ethanol 1G. The 2G firm seeks to harness the "windows of opportunity" of new technology and from the endogenous production of knowledge can dictate the success of technology development.
