In August 2024, solar energy generation in Brazil grew by 32%, according to the Electric Energy Trading Chamber (CCEE). 3,420 MWmed were produced, compared to 2,578 MWmed in August 2023. This significant advance is driven by the expansion of installed capacity, especially in the states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo, in addition to the increase in solar incidence during this period. The Monthly Operation Program (PMO) highlights the importance of solar energy to diversify the national energy matrix, reducing dependence on non-renewable sources.
Climate change represents one of the greatest global challenges of the 21st century, directly affecting ecosystems and human life. The energy transition emerges as a crucial response, aiming to replace energy sources that exacerbate the problem with sustainable alternatives. This article deeply explores the interactions between these two phenomena, highlighting the importance of coordinated and […]

In a world increasingly aware of the impacts of climate change, decarbonization, energy transition, and the adoption of clean energy are key concepts. Decarbonization refers to reducing or eliminating carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in production and energy processes, a necessary step to combat global warming. The energy transition involves shifting from fossil fuel-based energy sources to renewable alternatives, such as solar and wind, which have a much smaller environmental impact. Clean energy, which encompasses these renewable sources, is vital for a sustainable future and is central to global climate policy discussions.
