Water crisis may favor incentives for solar energy generation
Faced with the challenges of developing the electricity sector, players debate how to modernize and encourage new sources, such as the generation of solar energy.
Solar: energy can generate R$ 140 billion in investment in the country!
Brazil reached the historic milestone of 9 GW of operational power in large photovoltaic plants and small and medium systems. The data are from the Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (Absolar) indicating that the source has brought more than R$ 46 billion in investments and 270,000 new jobs in the country.
Why is biomass still underestimated in Brazil?
The generation of energy from biomass has a current installed capacity of 15,604 MW, representing 9% of the national electrical matrix. With 578 thermoelectric plants, this source is in fourth place, behind hydro, wind and natural gas.
Sustainable energy in Brazil: what is the importance of incentives?
Sustainable energy in Brazil has been evolving in recent years, but incentives are essential for its projection.
The importance of solid urban waste in the generation of energy!
All of this material can be used to generate energy. One of the benefits of this use is the diversification of the energy matrix, in addition to being a solution to part of the waste problem in urban centers.
How do landfills generate carbon credit?
In the last decades, the intensification of human activities has increased the production of waste, creating a serious problem for public administrations in the correct accomplishment of this disposal. At the same time, technological and industrial development has caused greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to reach alarming levels.
Power generation: how to extract biogas from landfills?
With a high energy demand, Brazil is looking for new ways to generate energy, and the extraction of biogas from landfills is one of those options.
RDF: understand what refuse-derived fuel is!
Do you know what waste fuel is? The CDR is a fuel derived from materials that cannot be used in the biodigestion process, and are used to feed industrial ovens. This type of garbage is crushed in specific machines, managing to reuse everything that is neither organic nor recyclable.
What does ESG mean and what is the relationship with sustainability?
The adoption of an ESG agenda in companies brings advantages, such as improved reputation, greater profitability and improved valuation over time.
