5 Brazil A low Carbon Economy Brazil is a low carbon economy. when compared to the world's average

6 Brazil s intended Nationally Determined Contribution (indc) under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Brazil intends to adopt measures in order to further increase the share of renewable energy in its energy mix to 45% by 2030

7 Measures, Brazil intends to adopt to increase the share of renewable energy in its energy mix expanding biofuels consumption and increasing ethanol supply, including by increasing the share of advanced biofuels (second generation), and increasing the share of biodiesel in the diesel mix; expanding the use of renewable energy sources other than hydropower in the total energy mix to 33% by 2030; increasing the share of renewable (other than hydropower) in the power supply to at least 23% by 2030, including by raising the share of wind, biomass and solar

8 INVESTMENT PROGRAM IN ELECTRIC POWER The Federal Government announced last year the Investment Program in Electric Power, which brings together the projects that are expected to be executed until December 2018, Amounting to an intended investment of about US$ 47 billion. In the power generation segment, the program indicates a total of about US$ 30 billion in investments in order to add between 25 and 31,5 GW of installed power to the grid. Of this total, between 10,000 to 14,000 MW will come from the "non-hydro renewable": solar, wind and biomass. Investments in power transmission should reach about U$ 18 billion, totaling 37,600 km of new transmission lines to the grid.

9 Brazil's Auction Schemes

10 Brazil's auction schemes According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), some of the key lessons from Brazil's auction schemes were: greater renewable energy capacity and lower prices were reached following the introduction of the auction scheme; local content requirement has promoted the domestic wind industry; technology-specific auctions have supported the development of renewable energy; the design of the auction scheme has led to fierce competition.

11 Wind & Solar energy in Brazil

12 Wind Power generation plants in Brazil 316 Wind Power Wind Power Plants in 2006 Plants in Wind Power Plants in 2006 Wind Power Plants in 2011 In 2018, Brazil will be among the 20 countries with the highest solar power generation, It is estimated that the installed capacity of solar generation will reach 8,300 MW in 2024.

13 Solar Energy in Brazil Brazil has adopted measures to encourage decentralized (Roof-top) photovoltaic power generation, which reduces the need for electric transmission structure and prevents losses. In 2018, Brazil will be among the 20 countries with the highest solar power generation, considering the power already contracted, equivalent to 2,600 MW. It is estimated that the installed capacity of solar generation will reach 8,300 MW in 2024.

14 Renewable energy linkage with sustainable economic development In the Brazilian case, it is estimated that; 1 MW of installed solar photovoltaic capacity generates 25 to 30 direct jobs.

15 Hydro Power in Brazil

16 Hydro Power in Brazil Over 65% of the Brazilian electric supply comes from hydro sources Brazil has second higher hydropower capacity in the world, after China. In 2015, Brazil added 2,4 GW of hydroelectric capacity to its electric system. Picture of Itaipu Dam, Brazil

17 Hydropower Generation in Brazil-Itaipu Dam Itaipu hydropower Plant The Itaipu power plant was the world leader in power generation in the year 2015, generating 89.2 million of MWh of electricity, an amount 2.5% higher than the production generated by the Three Gorges plant in China, of 87 million MWH.

18 Small Hydropower plants & Brazil Experience Brazil has also in-depth knowledge and experience in the construction of small hydropower plants, resulting in lower environmental impacts and better fit for decentralized generation. In Brazil, gas-powered plants, are much more expensive and usually employed sporadically to supply energy at times of peak demand

19 BIOENERGY in Brazil

20 Bio Energy in Brazil The blending of ethanol with gasoline (anhydrous ethanol) or its exclusive use as a fuel for automobiles (hydrated) prevented emissions of more than 300 million tons of CO² into the atmosphere over the past 12 years in our country. Also, the blending of ethanol and biodiesel into gasoline and diesel, along with the offering of pure ethanol for flex-fuel cars, are a way to stabilize fuel costs and reduce dependency on oil

21 Cellulosic ethanol is a biofule produced from wood, grasses, or the inedible parts of plants, waste and agricultural residue, like rice straw. After a long period of research and development, the 2nd generation bioethanol (E2G), or lignocelluloses ethanol, has reached the stage of commercial plants. It uses special enzymes to break the cellulosic molecule into simpler sugar molecules which can then be fermented and turned into fuel. There are now seven commercial plants in the world, whose installed capacity totals more than 500 million liters per year Cellulosic ethanol also opens the doors for greatly increased ethanol supply with zero increase in the use of land and water resources. The introduction of second generation ethanol will greatly increase production per acreage, from about 40 percent to an expected 250 percent when technology and production methods are fully developed. Just to have an idea of what this productivity jump would entail, those gains would allow ethanol to replace 10 percent of total world gasoline consumption by 2025, using less than half current global sugarcane acreage. It is not easy to overcome the challenge of migrating to a low carbon economy worldwide. The transport sector, in particular, poses the greatest challenges

22 Electricity generation from non-wood pellets another promising new technology is the production of non-wood pellets from the straw and other residues from crops such as sugarcane, which can then be burned in highefficiency thermoelectric plants

23 BRAZIL ENERGY DIPLOMACY At the multilateral level, Brazil contributes to various initiatives and organizations, such as the UN initiative "Sustainable Energy for All" (SE4ALL), the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM), the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) - which Brazil cochairs, along with Italy,-the G20 Energy Sustainability Working Group (ESWG), the International Solar Alliance and many other fora.

24 Brazil-Pakistan Potential of Collaboration Based both on Brazil s and Pakistan s experience, potential, and natural endowments, it is not out of place to suggest that renewable energy, in particular bioenergy, hydropower and wind power, can be a promising new area of regulatory, technical, economical and entrepreneurial cooperation and partnership between our two countries in the near future.

25 Future outlook of bio-energy and bio-fuels The future looks promising for bio-energy and bio-fuels, not only in Brazil but also for many other countries like Pakistan which are rich in resources such as sun, land and water, thanks to some very recent developments in technology.
