Energy transition in Brazil: change beyond energy
The energy transition is a subject that has become a trend in many countries. With the advance of global warming and its consequences, there is an urgent need for migration to a low carbon economy.
Brazil and the emission of greenhouse gases
Unfortunately, Brazil has not had a good position in reducing the emission of greenhouse gases. While other countries had a reduction of almost 7% with the effects of the pandemic, our country increased this rate by 9.5%. Of the five sectors of the economy that account for the totality of emissions in the country: three increased (agriculture, waste and land use change), one remained stable (industrial processes) and one declined (energy).
The importance of hydrogen in the energy transition
What is the influence of hydrogen on the energy transition and what are the perspectives for Brazil in the development of this energy source?
PL of solar energy: understand the impacts for the sector
The PL for solar energy proposes changes that bring more legal certainty, but there are still deadlocks regarding the compensation system. Understand the impacts.
Infrastructure debentures and the impact on the electricity sector
Debentures are a means of raising financial resources. See what Infrastructure Debentures are and their impact on the electricity sector.
Consumption reduction program: understand the government’s proposal!
The consumption reduction program aims to reduce energy costs, especially during peak hours. See the points of the proposal. With the lack of historical rain and the reservoirs getting lower, the Federal Government created a program to reduce consumption.
The impact of regulations in economic sectors on asset management
To carry out good asset management, it is important to understand the regulations that operate in the sector. In the case of energy, there is a clear trend towards innovation and use of technology in search of a clean and renewable matrix.
Investment in renewable energy grows around the world
According to the Climate Finance Center at the Imperial College Business School, renewable energy has generated significantly greater returns over the past ten years than fossil fuels. The ratio is seven times more, 422.7% for renewable energy against 59% for fossil fuels.
Why is investing in renewables better than fossil fuels?
Renewable sources already have a lower cost than fossil fuels. In addition, they are the bet to reduce GHG, to reach the goals by 2050.
What is a reserve energy auction?
Do you know what a reserve energy auction is? In Brazil, auctions are the main form of contracting energy. Through them, concessionaires, licensees and authorized to distribute electricity ensure market service in the Regulated Contracting Environment (ACR). The auctions are carried out by the Electric Energy Trading Chamber (CCEE), by delegation from the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL).
