Vice President Director of Neoenergia to Attend COP 26, Urging the Private Sector to Be Ambitious in Global Decarbonization Project.

Solange Ribeiro, Deputy Director of Neoenergia, Will Participate in COP 26 to Help the World with the Decarbonization Project.

COP 26 has been one of the most talked-about topics lately, and the Brazilian business sector is represented by the deputy president of Neoenergia.

Solange Ribeiro, deputy president of the company, as well as vice president of the United Nations Global Compact board, will have several meetings and a lecture on the 10th, showcasing the opportunities and challenges of the clean energy market and the decarbonization challenges.

• Neoenergia and PicPay Partner to Offer Up to 40% Cashback on Energy Bills
• COP26: Brazil Joins Group of 103 Countries and Commits to Reduce Methane Emissions by 2030
• Clean Energy: Discover the Future Largest Solar Power Plant on the Planet; the Structure Will Be Visible from Space

We will show a bit more about Neoenergia’s participation in COP26 and other relevant data regarding the production of wind energy by this company, which has been essential for Brazil to maintain its decarbonization strategy.

What Are Solange Ribeiro’s Commitments at COP 26?

Initially, she will have a meeting with top executives on 11/10, pointing out the challenges and opportunities that the decarbonization project of the Paris Agreement presents for society and the economy.

In this sense, it is important to mention that this type of meeting usually generates extremely positive impacts, as events like COP 26 align the interests of governments and businesses, allowing public-private partnerships and public policies that aim to promote clean energy and other interesting ways to address decarbonization and the carbon market, which will be an important trend for the future.

The presence of the director of a Brazilian clean energy company benefits the emergence of international partnerships in this market, here in Brazil, as we know, there is still a lot of wind and solar potential to explore, both onshore and offshore.

COP 26 brings commitments to halve CO2 emissions in the atmosphere by 2030 and complete the decarbonization of the economy by 2050.

Activists and various entities within this market point out that these goals are still too permissive and may have drastic consequences on the state of climate change caused by CO2 emissions.

Activists such as Txai Suruí and Greta Thunberg point out that the market is not giving due attention to the problem, and highlight the lack of time for these changes to be made.

The clean energy market, including Neoenergia, has been actively working as part of the solution, generating clean energy and increasingly making the dream of decarbonization possible.

What Is the Importance of Neoenergia in the Brazilian Clean Energy Project?

Neoenergia is one of the major renewable energy companies in Brazil. According to data from Neoenergia itself, it will achieve a level of 90% renewable energy in its matrix by 2022.

Other interesting investments that the company continues to develop involve: electric mobility, biodiversity preservation, innovation in energy efficiency, and battery energy storage, as well as electric trucks and smart meters for network digitization.

Another noteworthy project is the Green Corridor, the first electrification highway in the Northeast, with a length of 100 km and 18 charging points between Salvador and Natal.

As part of the Spanish group Iberdrola, Neoenergia also gains significant international voice, as it is part of the UN Global Compact and also part of the Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development.

As expected, Neoenergia makes it clear that beyond COP26, its mission to help Brazil and the world in the decarbonization process is part of the company’s DNA.
