Biomass, composed of organic materials such as agricultural waste, forestry residues, and animal waste, has emerged as a crucial renewable energy source for diversifying the global energy matrix.
The bioeconomy is based on the sustainable use of biological resources to develop products and services that reduce dependence on non-renewable resources. This economic model integrates practices from agriculture, forestry, fishing, and aquaculture with technological advances to create a value chain that respects natural cycles and promotes biodiversity. One of the pillars of the bioeconomy […]
In the Brazilian energy scenario, the year 2023 marked a historic turning point, characterized by the lowest rate of carbon emissions in electrical generation in the last eleven years. This achievement not only highlights Brazil's commitment to global environmental goals, but also highlights the growing influence of renewable sources in the national energy matrix. Driven by a diversified generation model, the country managed to reach a surprising rate, where 93% of the electricity generated comes from renewable sources, including hydroelectric, wind, solar and biomass.
Low-emission energy sources are expanding rapidly to meet growing global demand. By 2025, renewable energy, including solar and wind, is expected to increase its share of global power generation from 29% to 35%.
The Brazilian energy market, particularly with regard to renewable energy, represents a field of constant evolution and significant importance. Brazil, recognized for its predominantly renewable energy matrix, has shown a strong and growing commitment to sustainability and energy transition initiatives. This article aims to explore and elucidate the current dynamics, challenges and future perspectives of the renewable energy sector in Brazil.
Green hydrogen, considered the “fuel of the future”, is at the center of discussions about the global energy transition. Produced through renewable sources, such as wind and solar energy, it does not emit carbon, being an alternative to fossil fuels. Its versatility makes it a valuable input for industries such as fertilizers, cement and petrochemicals, as well as being a potential fuel for maritime and air transport.
Brazil, with its rich biodiversity, is poised to lead the green hydrogen revolution, a clean and renewable energy source. This move can strengthen the economy, attract foreign investments, and combat climate change.
The PDE 2032 brings important perspectives for the Brazilian energy sector, forecasting a 50% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030. The expansion of renewable sources and the electrification of road transport are some of the main mitigation strategies. Let's build a more sustainable future together!
With the successive growth in clean energy projects in Brazil, it is possible that, by 2030, around 50% of the Brazilian energy matrix will be renewable. In 2022 alone, generation capacity increased by 8.2 GW, second only to 2016, which had an increase of 9.5 GW.
The relationship between biogas and urban mobility is an increasingly present theme in discussions about the planet's climate future. The search for alternatives to reduce the pollution caused by vehicles powered by fossil fuels has led governments and companies to invest in new technologies. One of the solutions that is gaining space is biogas, a natural gas produced from the decomposition of organic matter.
