Climate change is evidently impacting the frequency and intensity of extreme events, such as heatwaves, severe storms, and floods. These phenomena result from global warming, driven by the increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
In the next ten years, Brazil is expected to experience significant growth in biofuel supply, according to studies recently released by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) and the Energy Research Company (EPE).
Brazil faces a serious water crisis in 2024, with more than 400 municipalities in extreme drought, directly impacting energy generation in hydroelectric plants, which operate at critical levels.
Sustainable bioenergy is emerging as one of the most promising solutions to address the dual challenge of the global climate crisis and socioeconomic development. According to the latest report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)
The concept of economically sustainable development has gained prominence in global discussions about the future of the planet. This development model aims to balance economic growth with environmental preservation and social equity.
Discover the growth of biogas in Brazil, its diversified applications, and the economic and environmental benefits. See how the country is becoming a global leader in renewable energy.
In 2023, Brazil reached important milestones in energy generation from biomass, with an average of 3,218 MW generated, equivalent to 4.6% of national energy consumption. This record, reported by CCEE, surpassed the previous one from 2020 (3,140 MWm), reflecting the continued growth and importance of biomass in the Brazilian energy mix.
Distributed Generation (DG) has emerged as a transformative force in the global energy scenario, with significant potential to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
In 2023, biomass consolidated its position as one of the main sources of renewable energy in Brazil, contributing significantly to the diversification of the national energy matrix. Its integration into the National Interconnected System (SIN) was driven by the record generation of 3,200 average MW, a milestone that highlights not only the energy potential of this source, but also its relevance for the country's energy security and environmental sustainability.
Main Greenhouse Gases and Their Impacts Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are gaseous components that contribute to the greenhouse effect, a natural phenomenon that keeps the Earth’s temperature habitable. However, the excessive concentration of these gases in the atmosphere, mainly resulting from human activities, has intensified global warming, leading to significant climate changes. The main GHGs include […]
