Abstract: This paper sought to evaluate the sugarcane chain in Brazil using input-output matrices for energy consumption and CO₂ emissions from either renewable or non-renewable sources, in the years 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2014. For this purpose, energy and emission matrices were harmonised and disaggregated vis-à-vis the country's monetary matrices. As a result, energy consumption by the said chain grew by 6.7% a year, having accounted for nearly 25% of consumption by the Brazilian agribusiness industry in 2014. However, energy consumption from renewable sources not only prevailed but also rose from 73% in 2000 to 88% in 2014. Therefore, emissions from the sugarcane chain are becoming increasingly suitable for preserving the environment.
