ĄClaro que si! And I have no issue with that if it makes economic and environmental sense (exporting sugarcane-based ethanol to the US because of its CBI or DR-CAFTA tariff status for a quick buck does not necessarily make economic sense for the country overall).
But if so, say so, don't go claiming it's being done to reduce the DR's GHG emissions as some Dominican officials have. Exported fuel that has no impact on local consumption patterns (i.e., the fuel mix) does not help the DR's GHG emissions, nor its energy security picture.
But as I said, let's please not get side-tracked into debating the overall sense/nonsense of different biofuels on this thread.
