We Are Very Close to the 27th United Nations Conference on Climate Change and, Therefore, COP27 Restarted the Debate on the Use of Renewable Energy in the Brazilian Industry.

Currently, the sector stands out for having an energy matrix with a large participation of renewable sources, which is a reality for few countries in the world. Furthermore, the Brazilian industry is considered one of the most competitive in the world regarding sustainability and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

According to the National Energy Balance 2021, Brazil currently has the following electric matrix: renewable sources account for 84.8% of the country’s electric matrix, with the main sources being wind, hydro, solar, and biomass.

Despite the good numbers, Brazil still faces a huge challenge: maintaining the percentages to meet sustainability energy and socioeconomic standards similar to those of developed countries. Today, this topic is widely discussed and is likely to be one of the agendas of the new government.

COP27 Aims to Accelerate Brazilian Environmental Measures

In this regard, the National Confederation of Industries (CNI) established four fundamental pillars to encourage the low-carbon economy: carbon market, energy transition, circular economy, and forest conservation.

The mission is to continue and accelerate the measures proposed by the country in the Paris Agreement, where a 37% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 was proposed, along with an indicative contribution of 42% and additional measures in renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Additionally, a target of 45% for renewable energies in the energy matrix composition by 2030 was proposed, through increased utilization of wind energy, biomass, solar, and biofuels.

Promoting new standards for clean technologies is essential to expand energy efficiency measures. Furthermore, it is necessary to increase the consumption of biofuels so that the share of sustainable bioenergy in the Brazilian energy matrix approaches 19% by 2030.

For this to be accomplished, more public policies are needed to advance a structured and positive agenda. However, we have good news on this matter, as according to the Emissions Gap Report, Brazil is one of the few G20 countries meeting the proposed targets.

Main Sources of Renewable Energy in Brazil

According to a report from the CNI, renewable energies come from inexhaustible natural resources, as they naturally renew. Moreover, they are considered clean forms of energy.

Among the most common types of renewable energy, we have solar energy (sun energy), wind energy (wind energy), ocean energy (tide and wave energy), geothermal energy (energy from the Earth’s interior heat), and biomass (energy from organic matter).

Finally, we also have green hydrogen, produced from the electrolysis of water, through renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar.

Main Sources of Renewable Energy in Brazil

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

End of bricklayers laying brick by brick: robot places more than 2,000 bricks per day, automatically applies cement, works with only one human operator next to the machine, and transforms traditional masonry into a high-speed semi-automated operation.

Scientists have discovered that the Earth recycles its own continents in the depths, dragging pieces of crust down during plate collisions and returning them later as magma, in a mechanism called relamination that has helped build the continents for billions of years.

Turkey is building a billion-dollar shortcut to channel billions of dollars by sea with a 45 km long canal, 275 meters wide and 20.75 meters deep, which promises to relieve the Bosphorus amid the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

How gravity batteries can change the world by transforming weight, height, and excess energy into clean electricity

Weather in Brazil on June 1st will have cold mornings in the South, strong sun in the Midwest, and storms in areas of the North and Northeast.

Why do airplanes have thousands of rivets and cars do not? The answer involves safety, weight, and mass production.

The next video rental store will be the call center: artificial intelligence accelerates silent change in customer service.

Nissan sells “Kicks popular” cheaper than Kwid, Mobi, and C3 in Brazil; for about R$ 30,000 in conversion without taxes, Magnite looks like a compact SUV, with 16-inch wheels, 6 airbags starting from the Visia version, and represents an affordable Nissan that disappeared from Brazilian stores.

Canada is preparing a billion-dollar megaproject with 3.5 GW of wind energy, up to 530 turbines, green hydrogen, and ammonia for export, in a bid that could place the country at the center of the new global race for clean fuels.

France launches tenders for 12 GW in renewable energy, bets on offshore wind and imposes restrictions on Chinese components to accelerate energy sovereignty, protect European factories, and reduce dependence on oil and gas amid global pressure.

At 4,400 meters of altitude in the Himalayas, where the air is so thin it makes breathing difficult, India’s state oil company drilled a thousand meters of rock to reach a 240-degree subsoil and set up the country’s first geothermal plant.
