Abstract
The sugar sugar cane (Saccharum spp.) has revealed as a new energy alternative, mainly as one of the possible substitutes of oil through the combustible alcohol, and São Paulo State is distinguished as being the producing greater of sugar cane, and thus studies are necessary for estimate your productivity, and for this a model was used to predict potential productivity through IPCC datas scenarios, in this study was used the scenario A2 for Barretos city in São Paulo state in the period of 2000 the 2099. In a general way the changes climatic had caused a beneficial effect for the sugar cane, reflecting in a bigger production of dry mass in stalks.
