Resumo

Recently, the restoration of Brazilian policies focusing specifically to ethanol has been observed with the clear intention of the government to stimulate this productive sector and thus boost its development. Thus, it aims to understand how these measures influenced the recovery of a sector that was vigorous decades ago, analyzing its current characteristics and, at the same time, verifying how this process was perceived by the academic community. For this purpose, a review of the literature and research in Federal Government reports about the topic was carried out. As a result, this paper seeks to present the main characteristics that demonstrate the revival of the sector by means of government policies, as well as focuses on the current research agenda, proposing the necessary adjustments and advances.
