Resumo
The article analyzes the process of greenhouse gas (GEG) emissions into the
atmosphere, as well as how this situation has traced an uncertain future for the planet’s
climate. Besides the burnings, the use of fossil fuels has been viewed as the greatest
anti-hero behind such emissions, especially CO2. A review of thematic literature shows
that the cultivation of sugarcane is a strong alternative to fossil fuels, and also, a means
to obtaining renewable energy and enhancing companies that commercialize carbon
credit through subproducts of the ethanol and sugar productions in a sustainable
development perspective. This study intends to contribute to a critical view on the
expansion of the sugarcane crop, and on its internalization through carbon credit and its
social and environmental challenges. Furthermore, our results indicate that carbon
credits have become one more source of profit among many, and not at all a solution to
the problem of emissions.
