• Windmills for conversion of wind power into mechanical energy
for the purpose of pumping water and/or milling grain;
• Fluid pumps, not exceeding 2 HP, for use in continuous current
photovoltaic solar energy systems;
Solar water heaters;
Photovoltaic generators;
⚫ Wind turbines;
• Unassembled solar cells;
Solar cells in modules or panels;
*Support towers for wind generators;
Fluorescent light bulbs.
In 2011, the Greenhouse Gas State Inventory pointed
out the major sources of GHG emissions. In order to
reach the reduction target in 20% up to 2020 based on
2005, major investments in transport, energy
generation and agriculture will take place, in the
public sector as well as the private sector.
Opportunities:
• Development and application of new low
carbon technologies for all economic sectors;
• Production of capital goods for the generation of
low carbon products;
• Development of management systems and
software applications;
⚫ Carbon credit projects;
Increase in the supply of low carbon products in
the retail market.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
São Paulo is the largest sugarcane producer in the
world and sugar and ethanol exporter, with over 400
plants which produce ethanol, sugar and
bioelectricity. Following the technological advances,
12 automotive plants already offer over 90 flex fuel car
models and, thus, Brazil is the only country in the
world where the use of an alternative fuel surpasses the
use of gasoline.
Besides ethanol, São Paulo has small hydroelectric
central plants spread all over its territory and plants for
the production of wind turbines. Despite the great
potential for generating solar energy, this sector is still
being developed.
These characteristics place the State in an avant-garde
position regarding technology development to
generate renewable energy and open a wide field of
opportunities for new investments.

• Development and application of new
technologies, such as energy recovery,
photovoltaic panels, LED technology, capital goods
and energy-efficient technologies;
• Production of capital goods for the generation of
renewable energy;
•Production of goods for the civil construction and
energy auto-generating units, such as photovoltaic
and energy self-sufficient panels;
• Development of management systems and
software applications (energy-efficient) and smart
grid systems.
SOLID WASTE
São Paulo has been investing in energy recovery,
recycling and reversal logistics. The Solid Waste
National Policy (National Law number 12,305 of
2010) has determined that, up to 2014, all cities shall
have recycling systems and close their city dumps, thus
creating a wide solid waste market to be exploited.
Opportunities:
• Development and application of new
technologies, such as energy recovery, recycling
and development of new renewable materials;
Production of capital goods to manage waste
treatment and destination;
•Waste processing to create new by-products;
Industrial symbiosis;
Development of management systems and
software applications (life cycle analysis);View entire presentation
