interoperable system. The diversity of electric
vehicle plug formats is an example.
However, active collaboration can arise should
synergies exist. Ethanol fuel is a typical example.
Ethanol fuel was heavily supported in Brazil,
despite being more costly than imported oil due its
positive externalities of better energy security and
its potential to help regulate the domestic sugar
market. This was achieved by creating demand
through ethanol-petrol blending mandates, providing ethanol distribution infrastructure and supporting flexible fuel innovations (Table 4).
