Eficiência Energética (EE) no Brasil e no Mundo

This report by the Climate Policy Initiative analyzes energy efficiency (EE) mechanisms for electricity-intensive consumers, comparing international experiences from the European Union, USA, China, and other nations with the current policy landscape in Brazil. It identifies direct and indirect benefits of EE, such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions and increased industrial competitiveness, and evaluates various regulatory, fiscal, and market-based instruments to provide recommendations for improving Brazil's energy efficiency framework.

• Energy efficiency (EE) provides significant direct and indirect benefits, including the reduction of the need to expand energy supply, lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduced energy costs for consumers and governments, and increased industrial productivity and competitiveness.
• The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that global energy efficiency gains of 13% between 2000 and 2017 prevented the need to add the entire annual energy consumption of the European Union to the global market in 2017.
• The European Union has set ambitious targets to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, with a 2030 goal to reduce final energy consumption by at least 32.5% compared to projections.
• China utilizes five-year plans to reduce energy intensity, with the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020) aiming for a 15% reduction in energy intensity by 2020 compared to 2015 levels.
• International EE mechanisms vary by approach: Canada and India use mandatory regulation and labeling; the US and Canada employ energy use reporting; the US and Portugal use audits; Argentina and Norway use informational programs; and Switzerland uses market instruments like the ProKilowatt auction.
• In Switzerland, the ProKilowatt auction mechanism, which operates on a single-bid and discriminatory price structure, saved 4,511 GWh between 2010 and 2015.
• Denmark implements a carbon tax to internalize environmental costs, which contributed to a reduction in industrial carbon emissions of approximately 15% between 1990 and 2005.
• Germany has aggressively promoted the ISO50001 energy management standard, making it mandatory for companies with energy demands over 5 GWh/a by 2015, leading to Germany holding approximately 50% of the world's ISO50001 certifications in 2016.
• Brazil's energy efficiency framework includes the Brazilian Labeling Program (PBE), the Procel seal, and the Energy Efficiency Law (2001), but implementation is hindered by the distribution of responsibilities across more than ten different institutions.
• Industrial energy efficiency in Brazil remained stable between 2003 and 2015, suggesting a significant untapped potential for productivity gains through EE adoption in the manufacturing sector.
• Conflicting policy objectives in Brazil can impede energy efficiency; for example, the Manaus Free Trade Zone's national content requirements for air conditioner compressors can conflict with the goal of promoting higher energy efficiency.
