Brazil Energy Opportunities & Sustainability Commitments
Brazil has huge and diverse potential for renewables
Brazil is currently among the five most attractive emerging markets for investments in renewable energy. (https://global-climatescope.org/)
Oil majors are also betting on the Brazilian renewables market. We believe they will integrate their portfolio with cleaner energy projects, while capitalizing on
synergies and tapping the huge potential in Brazil for renewable energy projects.
Biofuels
Brazil has large experience in producing biofuels and benefits from a longstanding well-established industry.
Shell (Raízen) and BP (BP Bunge Bioenergia) are betting high in this market.
Biogas/
Biomethane
Biogas has every condition to achieve greater participation in the Brazilian energy matrix. The sugarcane
industry represents a large opportunity for biogas generation. One example is the Raízen Geo Biogas plant.
◆ Hydrogen
Solar
Wind
National Hydrogen Program has been established recently. Possible investments in green hydrogen
announced so far in Ceará, Pernambuco and RJ States are only from companies in the renewable energy
sectors.
Solar and Wind energies represent a good proportion of our energy matrix. Total operates three solar plants
and is developing new wind projects through its affiliate Total Eren. Also, the first solar plant in Equinor's
global portfolio is located at Ceará State (Apodi solar power plant).
Brazil enjoys great potential for offshore wind plants. Brazil's shallow waters alone hold potential for 700GW
of offshore wind generation. Equinor plans to install 4GW of offshore wind energy in Rio and Espírito Santo
States.
