Abstract
This study aims to identify and assess two different energy supply chains and associate technologies in two countries, Brazil and California in USA. The first one a fossil fuel energy source, and the second one using a biomass ethanol energy source. The study provides insights for relevant actors in the society involved in managing the ‘energy and global change’. Findings discussed about energy efficiency, pollution, costs, laws and regulations. In addition, this study demonstrates the importance of the government’s action on energy management. With proper management it is possible to achieve energy efficiency and sustainability diminishing the pollution levels.
