A group of senior executives from the most important corporations operating in Brazil decided to look to the future and carried out two major studies on the energy issue. This is the CEBDS (Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development) Leaders Council. The documents Renewable Energy Financing: Obstacles, Challenges and Opportunities<\/em> It is Efficient Consumption of Electric Energy: An Agenda for Brazil<\/em> will be presented at an open and free event on May 5. At the same time, the studies will also be presented to public authorities from different spheres.<\/p>\n

The two issues are considered strategic by the production sector for the resumption of competitiveness and for the construction of a sustainable development model in the country. \u201cIt is impossible to ignore that climate issues will directly affect political and economic decision-making. Therefore, both studies are already aligned with the national commitments made in the Paris Agreement\u201d, explains the president of CEBDS, Marina Grossi. They analyze opportunities and challenges of the current situation regarding the efficient use of energy and the diversification of alternative renewable sources, in addition to pointing out practical measures for progress. These are complex issues that will cause profound changes, including market changes, in the near future. \u201cThe Council of Leaders anticipated the analysis of some of these challenges and wants to share its vision of the future with the government and society. Only with a well-consolidated social pact will the country be able to move towards a sustainable, competitive and socially fair economy\u201d, adds Marina.<\/p>\n

In the commitment made in the Paris Agreement, Brazil proposes to achieve a share of 23% of renewable alternative energy sources in the electricity matrix (such as wind and photovoltaic) and to promote energy conservation in the order of 10% by 2030. To date, however, there is no action foreseen in the government's Multi-Year Plan (PPA) and difficulties persist, such as the dependence on public financing for alternative energy projects, the strong perception of risk among investors and the lack of visibility of investments and net gains resulting from greater efficiency.<\/p>\n

The studies of the Council of Leaders address these and other issues, offering alternatives that, if adopted by the government, will gain scale to bring Brazil into line with sustainable development and the global moment. Among its objectives are:<\/p>\n
