The importance of the Energy Transition

GNPW está contribuindo significativamente para a transição energética

The Brazilian Energy Matrix is ​​composed of several energy sources, including renewable sources and fossil sources. However, dependence on fossil sources such as oil and coal has negative impacts on the environment and human health. Therefore, the energy transition is important to guarantee a sustainable future.

The Brazilian energy matrix is composed of a diverse range of energy sources, with hydroelectricity being the main source responsible for about 75% of the country’s energy production, according to the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME). In addition, biomass and methanol are also important sources of energy generation in Brazil, accounting for about 13% and 9% of energy production, respectively. However, there is still a significant portion of energy from non-renewable sources such as oil and natural gas, responsible for about 3% and 1% of energy production, respectively.

The Importance of Energy Transition

Energy transition is crucial to achieving a more sustainable future, as it seeks to change the energy matrix to renewable sources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and ensuring the country’s energy security. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), energy transition is one of the main measures to combat climate change and ensure a more sustainable future.

Brazil has a great advantage over other countries due to its energy matrix already composed of renewable sources such as hydroelectricity. However, there is still much to be done to achieve a truly sustainable energy matrix. To do this, it is necessary to invest in research and development of renewable sources and technologies that allow their use in a more efficient manner, such as distributed generation and smart grids, for example.

In addition, energy transition can bring many benefits to the country, such as increasing economic competitiveness, generating jobs and business opportunities in the renewable energy sector, and improving the quality of life of the population. According to the Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (ABSOLAR), the renewable energy sector in Brazil already employs around 200,000 people and has potential to grow even more with the implementation of energy transition.

However, it is important to highlight that the energy transition is not an easy task and requires the cooperation of all sectors of society, including government, companies and society in general. The government must provide clear public policies and financial incentives for the deployment of renewable sources, while companies need to adapt to this new reality and invest in more sustainable technologies. Society, on the other hand, plays an important role in raising awareness about the importance of energy transition and changing habits towards more conscious energy consumption.

Advantages of Energy Transition

  • Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The transition to renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, responsible for global warming.
  • Improved Air Quality: Replacing fossil sources with renewable energy sources can also improve air quality and protect human health.
  • Creating Green Jobs: The energy transition can create jobs in the area of ​​renewable energy, such as the production and installation of solar panels and wind turbines.

In summary, the energy transition is crucial for the sustainable development of Brazil and the entire world. It is an opportunity for us to move towards a more sustainable future, with a safer and cleaner energy matrix, and to contribute to the fight against climate change. It is up to all of us to act now and do our part in the search for a more sustainable future.

GNPW is making a significant contribution to the energy transition, seeking more sustainable and efficient solutions for energy generation. With the objective of meeting a growing demand for renewable energy sources, the company is investing in the development of projects that aim to minimize the environmental impact and guarantee a clean and renewable energy source.

Rio Poti Energia, a company of the GNPW group, is at the forefront of this energy transition. As the concession holder for two photovoltaic plants in the State of Piauí, the company invests in innovative and technological solutions for the generation of renewable energy. These plants have a total installed capacity of 10 MW, and their objective is to provide consumers with clean, renewable energy without harming the environment.

The technology used in Rio Poti Energia’s photovoltaic plants allows energy to be generated from solar radiation, without emitting polluting gases. In addition, the plants have low maintenance costs, which adds savings in energy consumption contracts under the Public Private Partnership.

GNPW and Rio Poti Energia are committed to promoting the energy transition, seeking solutions that meet market needs, legislation requirements and environmental requirements. In order to guarantee the efficiency and sustainability of its projects, the company is always looking for innovative and technological solutions for energy generation.

In summary, GNPW and Rio Poti Energia are working together to promote the energy transition, contributing to the generation of clean and renewable energy, as well as preserving the environment and ensuring economic efficiency. This partnership represents an important step towards a more sustainable and responsible futu
