Oportunidades E Desafios Para Aumentar Sinergias Entre As Políticas Climáticas E Energéticas No Brasil

The report argues that Brazil's current energy-related emission trajectory is unsustainable and likely to exceed estimated fair carbon budgets between 2024 and 2035. It identifies significant opportunities for decarbonization in the transport, industry, and electricity generation sectors, suggesting that a transition to a low-carbon economy can be achieved with low or negative economic costs while improving public health and competitiveness.

• Brazil's greenhouse gas emission profile has shifted; while deforestation was previously the primary source, emissions from energy use now represent nearly the same proportion as those from land-use change.
• Current energy-related emission trajectories in Brazil are inconsistent with low-cost pathways to avoid dangerous climate change and are projected to exceed a calculated 'fair share' carbon budget (estimated between 20 and 26 GtCO2e for 2010–2050) between 2024 and 2035.
• The transport sector is the largest contributor to energy-related emissions in Brazil. Decarbonization opportunities include improving fuel efficiency, transitioning to low-carbon modes like rail and BRT, and increasing the use of advanced flex-fuel, hybrid, and electric vehicles.
• Industrial emissions can be reduced by implementing carbon metrics, such as the Brazilian Emission Reduction Market, life-cycle assessments to differentiate carbon-intensive products, and a measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) system.
• Brazil has the potential to increase the share of wind and solar energy in its national energy matrix to 30% by 2030, provided it eliminates fossil fuel incentives and addresses the challenges of large-scale hydroelectric projects.
• There is a critical need to integrate climate and energy planning, specifically by incorporating global carbon budget constraints into the National Energy Plan and the Ten-Year Energy Expansion Plan.
