The different modes of transport used in the agroethanol industry and their energy efficiencies have been studied. Their specific consumption of fuels t^ans in MJ (tioad km) 1 is assessed from raw data and from friction force laws, t^ans depends on the mode characteristics, fuel/engine performance, velocity, geometry, total mass, actual load... Lack of precision on them increases the uncertainty on ttrans (variation by a factor up to 8 for pipeline depending on the flow velocity).From ttrans is deduced the consumption of the mode in the industry Rtrans in J for 100 J of the energy content of ethanol EetOh produced from the load. Rtrans takes also into account the distance of shipment d and the weight of the load in Eetoh, u>ioad- Trucks, ttrans from 7 to 1.4 MJ(tioad km)"1, can present the best Rtrans, lower than 0.5 J for 100 J of ethanol, because of trips over small d (less than 100 km) and of low w_load (less than 0.04 t_load GJ~-1etoh f°r ^arm inputs and ethanol). Rtrans of the plant transport to the factory by trucks ranges to 3 J due to larger w_load (up to 0.56 t]Oad. GJlldh for sugar cane). Large part of the ethanol is moved from the factory to the local storages over 1000 km more or less depending on the proximity of consumption centers. Efficient modes such as pipeline and sea ships, ttrans as low as 0.05 MJ (t_load km) J when optimized, can compensate for these distances with Rtrans around 1 ]. Rtrans to export ethanol from Brazil to France would represent less than 5 J, much lower than the difference of consumptions R between sugar cane and sugar beet based ethanol productions.
