In The Midst Of The Transition To A Carbon-Neutral Economy, Electric Companies Participate In A Workshop This Tuesday (24) And Wednesday (25).

At an event sponsored by Eletrobras, speakers will discuss alternatives for sustainable finance to fund projects in the sector, taking into account mainly the transitional phase to a carbon-neutral economy.

The emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the main causes of climate change worldwide. Once trapped in fossil fuels – coal, oil, and natural gas – carbon, when burned, is released as CO2. Its concentration is harmful to the atmosphere and hit a record in 2019: 415 parts per million.

Therefore, the aim is for a carbon-neutral economy, where its effects are neutralized or offset: when an activity does not increase the amount of gases that cause the greenhouse effect, or when the same amount of gas is emitted into the atmosphere as is removed through various means – thus leaving a zero balance.

Conference: Participants, Dates, Times, And Platform

The speakers include Alexandre Siciliano Esposito, head of the Department of Energy at the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES), Isabelle Frederique, senior financial specialist at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and João Costa, director of sustainability at the International Hydropower Association (IHA), based in London, United Kingdom.

They will discuss sustainable finance instruments, also addressing expectations in the Americas for this type of financing. Additionally, the topic of sustainability standards for hydropower plants will be discussed.

Also present will be Gil Maranhão, the director of Communications and Corporate Responsibility at ENGIE, a leading private energy company in Brazil. Gil will be on the panel discussing the topic “Sustainability Standards for Hydropower Plants,” presenting the case of the São Salvador plant, which was part of the green bond globally issued by ENGIE.

From Eletrobras, Luiz Augusto Figueira, director of Corporate Management and Sustainability, and Pedro Jatobá, executive director of Generation at EDP, will participate.

Companies such as EDP, Enel, and Neoenergia, among other consulting firms in the sector, will complete the discussion panels, which will be broadcast via Zoom from 2:30 PM to 5 PM on Tuesday, and from 1:30 PM to 5 PM on Wednesday.

Information About Eletrobras

The largest electric sector company in Latin America and a leader in electricity generation and transmission in Brazil, Eletrobras contributes in all regions of Brazil to making the national energy matrix one of the cleanest and most renewable in the world. It also operates in the segments of marketing and energy efficiency.

Energy Efficiency And Its Benefits

Energy efficiency refers to activities that aim to improve the use of energy sources. Also known as rational use of energy, it consists of managing energy efficiently to achieve a certain result. In energy efficiency, there is a relationship between how much energy is used in an activity and how much is available for its execution.

In this way, the use of energy sources is optimized to reduce costs and help the environment. In other words, it is about carrying out processes while consuming less.

In this regard, a solution pointed out by the National Institute of Energy Efficiency (INEE) is distributed generation, or DG. The idea is to reduce the distance between where energy is generated and where it is consumed, through the implementation of technologies such as: emergency generators, renewable energy sources, co-generators, hydropower plants, among others. This way, fewer losses in energy transmission will occur. The shorter the distance between generation and consumption, the greater the energy efficiency.

Energy Efficiency And Its Benefits

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

Cell phones in schools: learn how a year after the ban, students and teachers are already noticing positive effects and recording improvements in academic performance with increased attention and active participation.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

More than 1,500 Chinese workers transformed an entire railway station in just one night and reduced a 7-hour journey to 90 minutes with a high-speed line of 200 km/h.

Brazilian city becomes a global destination after attracting tourists who travel up to 10,000 km to visit a sanctuary with 11 giant saints up to 10 meters tall, open 24 hours and located along a highway in SP.

JBL Flip Essential 3 SE is launched with 30W of power (20W + 10W), Bluetooth 5.4, Auracast for multiple connections, IP67 water and dust resistance, up to 12 hours of battery life, and a price of approximately R$ 660 in China.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Pernambuco paradise with 59% of preserved area advances with R$ 2 billion in e-methanol, aims for 900 tons/day, grows 38.6% and builds electrified terminal of 400 thousand TEUs.

Brazil may have railways back on the map, but it will need the government: a study reveals 7,412 km ready for reactivation, a cost of R$ 75 billion, 61 sections analyzed, and none viable without public funding.
