What are the benefits of distributed generation?
Distributed generation is, without a doubt, one of the best concepts that have emerged in recent years, mainly because of the facilities and benefits it promotes.
How to plan investments for energy transition?
The transformation currently experienced makes governments, society and companies adapt and change their way of consuming and producing to maintain the climate and environment. With this scenario, it is essential that companies in the energy sector also carry out investment planning for the energy transition.
Understand the differences between traditional fuels and biofuels
The use of biofuels by companies has been increasing due to the growing commitment to complying with good ESG practices, acronym for Environmental, Social and Governance, which consists of a set of practices adopted by companies for the conservation of the environment.
Discover 4 sources of bioenergy
Bioenergy is energy created from biomass that can be used both for the production of electricity and for the generation of heat and biofuels. Biomass is organic matter that can be of animal or plant origin. In other words, bioenergy can be generated from several sources, each of which has different characteristics and efficiency.
The importance of solid waste-based biofuels for the energy transition
With the need for an energy transition and the increase in energy costs due to the Russian war, biofuels based on solid waste become a solution to stop the crisis and instabilities generated by energy.
What is the energy cost of war for countries?
When the conflict between Russia and Ukraine began six months ago, it was not imagined that the energy cost would be so high and would affect so many countries, including those that are not directly related to the war.
Carbon regulation: what can we expect?
In May 2022, Brazil took the first steps towards regulating the carbon market with the enactment of decree nº 11.075/2022. Despite leaving several gaps on this subject, the text laid the foundations for regulating the national carbon market, which has been expected for 13 years since the creation of the law that established the National Policy on Climate Change.
Electricity consumption increases in Brazil
With the resumption of activities in the post-pandemic period, there was an increase in electricity consumption in Brazil. Mainly, the beverage, food and service sectors were responsible for the 1.4% increase compared to the same period last year. According to the CCEE survey, in the first half of 2022, the country consumed an average of 66.02 MW of electricity.
Distributed Generation grows in the distributor market
In the last ten years, distributed generation has developed in Brazil, including in the distributor market. Since 2012, with ANEEL Normative Resolution No. 482/2012, Brazilian consumers can generate their own electricity from renewable sources or qualified cogeneration, and can also supply the surplus generated to the distribution network.
How is the Brazilian electrical matrix formed?
Initially, it is essential to understand the difference between energy matrix and electrical matrix. The first covers all sources available in a country, state or the world that meet the demand for total energy generation. The second consists only of the set of sources available to generate electricity, whether for homes, industries or other institutions.
