The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) has announced the implementation of an auction in June 2025 to contract energy aimed at ensuring the stability of the national electrical system during periods of highest consumption.
Thermal power plants occupy a strategic position in Brazil’s energy matrix, serving as a sort of “Plan B” for renewable sources and ensuring the stability of the national electrical system.
Thermoelectric plants play a crucial role in Brazil's energy matrix, especially in times of water crisis, when hydroelectric plants are compromised. Despite being a reliable source, these plants, which use fuels such as natural gas, coal and biomass, have a significant environmental impact, mainly due to greenhouse gas emissions. With the increase in demand for energy, thermoelectric plants are gaining ground in the energy scenario, but Brazil seeks to balance their use with the expansion of renewable sources, aiming for a more sustainable future.
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).
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)
In the first seven months of 2024, Brazil's electricity matrix saw significant growth, adding 6.5 gigawatts (GW) to its installed capacity. This progress reflects the country's ongoing efforts to expand its energy infrastructure, focusing on renewable sources.

Biomass has gained prominence as a vital renewable energy source in Brazil, significantly contributing to the diversification of the country's energy matrix. In 2023, Brazil achieved a significant milestone in energy generation from biomass
The debate on climate change and energy transition is crucial at a time when we face unprecedented environmental challenges. This article examines the urgent need for international collaboration to address these challenges and explore the opportunities offered by the transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy sources.
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.
