clean energy generation in Brazil
The national electric matrix is ​​formed by 82.9% of clean energy, such as hydroelectric, biomass and solar energy, while the global average is 26.7%. According to the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Brazil currently has 83% of its matrix originated from clean energy. The share is led by hydroelectric (63.8%), followed by wind (9.3%), biomass and biogas (8.9%) and solar (1.4%). Unlike the global average, Brazil is three times more sustainable than other countries.
Mercado livre de energia
How is the development of the free energy market in Brazil going? At the end of 2020, according to data from the Energy Research Company (EPE), there was a 1.6% drop in energy consumption in the country.
Why are renewable energy sources underused?
Renewable energy sources are wind, solar, hydro and biomass, but despite being sustainable sources, their use still needs to be expanded. How is the use of renewable energy sources in Brazil and in the world? Historically, world energy production has always been based on fossil fuels, such as oil and coal. However, over the decades it was realized that these fuels were finite and that their use caused the greenhouse effect and aggravated global warming.
Qual a relação entre energia e meio ambiente?
Energy generation is totally related to the environment, since all energy produced is the result of the transformation of some natural resource. Thus, it is everyone's duty to take care of the environment to ensure that the resource is maintained for the next generations.
Como será a demanda de energia no futuro?
The global demand for electricity is expected to grow 62% over the next 30 years. This will add 1.5% to world consumption per year. One of the factors for this increase is population growth, which is expected to reach 9.7 billion people, according to United Nations (UN) organizations.
Energia à base de hidrogênio: entenda!
The production of energy from hydrogen is considered one of the bets of the energy market for the future. Hydrogen is abundant, efficient, storable and transportable, does not produce gases that aggravate the greenhouse effect and can be produced from renewable sources.
