The energy market in Brazil has undergone a remarkable evolution in 2023, driven by a mix of favorable government policies, technological advances and a growing interest in clean and renewable energy sources.
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.
Biogas and biomethane have stood out as promising alternatives in the Brazilian and global energy scenario. With the growing need for clean and sustainable energy sources, these biofuels emerge as viable and efficient solutions.
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!
The Legal Framework for Distributed Generation, instituted by Law No. 14,300 of 2022, completed one year of validity on January 6, 2023. Through the regulation of distributed generation, which has become an important source of renewable energy, its objective main objective was to encourage the development of projects of this type in the country. The new rule determines that those who manufacture their own energy will pay the distribution tariff, which does not happen today when they use grid energy.
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.
Companies have increasingly sought ESG-oriented actions. The ESG concept is an approach that assesses how a corporation works towards goals for the environment, society and governance. In other words, going beyond profit maximization, other factors are analyzed, which also indirectly influence the company's financial security.
The Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, COP27, is one of the most important international conferences on environmental conservation due to its wide range of subjects and participants.
According to the Energy Research Company (EPE), projections of net natural gas production in the country should grow 4% over the next ten years, in relation to the current Ten-Year Energy Expansion Plan (PDE) 2031.
