In the pursuit of decarbonizing the automotive segment by valuing the use of renewable energy, Raízen is leveraging its partnership with the startup to accelerate its growth strategy in renewables. To do this, the company is adding new solutions that efficiently and sustainably meet different challenges and needs.
“With the ESG agenda heating up, Brazilian companies are seeking ways to become greener, not only in discourse but, primarily, in practical action,” said Tupinambá co-founder Pedro De Conti. He considers Tupinambá the ideal partner to help companies reach this new goal, facilitating investment in electric vehicles.
Consequences of the Merger with the Startup
The partnership with the startup will integrate Raízen’s electric mobility portfolio, which includes the supply of renewable energy and electric fueling solutions for corporate fleets. In addition, at the end of last year, the development of a large rapid charging network was also announced through the Shell Recharge program.
With these recent actions and partnerships, Raízen invests in its strategy to be a one stop shop for energy solutions, offering products and solutions in distributed generation and energy trading in the free market, energy efficiency, renewable energy certificates, and electric mobility, all guided by the sustainability of clean and renewable sources.
According to Frederico Saliba, Vice President of Energy and Renewables at Raízen, the business cooperation will draw on the company’s know-how as well as its Business Units, so that investments grow rapidly and sustainably, transforming electric mobility in Brazil.
Four years ago, Raízen founded Pulse, a hub for promoting open innovation. Today, the project has developed more than 50 associated startups and, in recent years, has enabled more than 70 pilot projects to be tested.
