Solar energy policy to boost Brazilian power sector
Barbosa, Juliana Pacheco; Saraiva, Joisa Dutra; Seixas, JuliaPurpose: The purpose of this paper is to highlight the opportunity for the energy policy in Brazil to tackle the very high cost-effectiveness potencial of solar energy to the power system. Three mechanisms to achieve ambitious reductions in the greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector by 2030 and 2040 are assessed wherein treated as solar targets under ambitious reductions in the greenhouse gas emissions ...
Diffusion of electric vehicles in Brazil from the stakeholders' perspective
Costa, Evaldo; Horta, Ana; Correia, Augusta; Seixas, Julia; Costa, Gustavo; Sperling, DanielA major challenge for humankind is to reduce global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to avoid the most harmful impacts of climate change. The transport sector is responsible for almost 1/4 of the world’s energy-related emissions, with road transportation representing around 1/5 of the fuel consumption. Electric vehicles (EVs) may help to reduce CO2 emissions, but their diffusion is uncertain due to market barrier...
