Renováveis 24h já desafiam fósseis no custo da energia firme, aponta IRENA
Energy Storage, Energy Transition, Global Energy, Renewable energy
A new IRENA report shows that hybrid solar, wind and battery systems can already deliver firm electricity around the clock at costs that are competitive with, or lower than, those of new fossil fuel plants in favorable regions. The finding shifts the center of the energy debate: the issue is no longer only the cost of standalone renewable generation, but the cost of clean power available when the system needs it
O crescimento da demanda por combustíveis no Brasil e o desafio estratégico da transição energética
Biofuel, Energy, Energy Transition, ESG
The April 2026 edition of the Outlook for the Brazilian Fuel Market in the Short Term, published by EPE, projects more than 3 billion additional liters of demand for liquid fuels and LPG in 2026 and again in 2027. This movement confirms the vitality of the Brazilian economy, but also highlights the complexity of the energy transition in a country where security of supply, social inclusion, competitiveness, and decarbonization need to advance in a coordinated manner.
Do Excedente ao Equilíbrio: Como o Armazenamento Desafia a Rede
Electrical Energy, Energy Transition, Regulation
Brazil is going through a decisive moment in the regulation of Energy Storage Systems (SAE). The National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL), through Public Consultation 39/2023 and the subsequent Joint Technical Note 13/2025, has been building the normative bases to integrate batteries, reversible plants and other storage systems into the National Interconnected System (SIN). The central point of the debate is the definition of how these enterprises should contract and remunerate the use of the electricity grid, a point that involves pricing, concessions, sectoral charges and regulatory equality. The approval of Law 15,269/2025 formalized the legal framework, but infralegal regulation still depends on ANEEL decisions that test the consistency of the Brazilian regulatory model in the face of technological innovation.
CGOB: o novo ativo de descarbonização que o mercado de energia ainda está aprendendo a precificar
Biogas, Biomethane, Carbon market, Decarbonization, Energy Policy, Energy Transition, Regulation
The Certificate of Guarantee of Origin for Biomethane has just been definitively regulated by the ANP. With Resolutions No. 995 and No. 996, published in March 2026, Brazil created a new financial instrument: an asset that proves the renewable origin of the gas, can be traded separately from the physical molecule and serves both to meet mandatory regulatory targets and voluntary corporate decarbonization strategies. For most investors, CGOB is still unknown. This article explains how it works, what differentiates it from RenovaBio's CBIOs, what the risks are and why 2026 could be the inflection point for anyone who wants to position themselves in this market before it matures.
Cortar emissões pela metade. Gerar muito mais eletricidade.
Climate Change, Climate Resilience, Climate Solutions, Energy Transition, ESG, Global Market
The world must reduce CO2 emissions by 30 to 50% by 2030 while simultaneously increasing electricity generation by at least 40% by 2035. These two goals must move forward together, yet they are still progressing at opposite speeds. The paradox is not climate rhetoric. It is the central challenge documented by the study Back to 2050, from the Schneider Electric Sustainability Research Institute, and by the World Energy Outlook 2025 from the International Energy Agency (IEA). Understand what is at stake, how we got here, what the main agreements and laws determine, and why Brazil could play a leading role.
Descarbonização Sai do Discurso e Entra nas Planilhas
Business, Energy Transition, ESG, Green Energy, Sustainability
Brazilian companies are turning decarbonization into a core business strategy in 2026. A regulated carbon market, measurable ESG targets, and renewable energy are reshaping competitiveness and access to investment in Brazil.
Transição energética: o Brasil diante de uma transformação estrutural da economia global
Clean Energy, Energy Transition, Green Hydrogen, Renewable energy
Talking about the energy transition is no longer a prospective exercise; it has become a concrete discussion about economic competitiveness, energy security, and geopolitical positioning. A topic that little more than a decade ago revolved mainly around academic reports and multilateral forums is now at the center of decisions by governments, companies, investors, and regulatory bodies.
Crescimento global de biogás e biometano: tendências de produção e políticas públicas
Biogas, Biomethane, Energy Transition
The IEA report highlights that global biogas and biomethane production volumes could rise by 22 percent by 2030 compared to 2025, reflecting a review of expectations and a more favorable scenario for investments in renewable energy. The analysis includes data that reveals variations in the speed of growth between regions, with emphasis on Europe, North America and developing markets in Asia and Latin America.
O ESTUDO QUE QUANTIFICA O CUSTO DA INAÇÃO CLIMÁTICA: R$ 17 TRILHÕES ATÉ 2050
Energy Transition, Global Warming, Paris Agreement
In a study presented in November 2025 during COP30 in Belém, the Ministry of Planning and Budget released a 219-page analysis quantifying the economic impacts of climate change in Brazil. The numbers reveal that climate action is not an isolated environmental issue, but a structural economic imperative: inaction could cost between R$10.3 trillion and R$17.1 trillion in GDP by 2050, while climate action would generate an additional R$6.7 trillion in wealth.
