Brazil bioenergy and decarbonization efforts

Overview

Brazil is pursuing decarbonization through energy efficiency improvements and the expansion of its bioenergy sector. While renewable sources account for 88.2% of the nation's electricity capacity, significant energy consumption occurs within buildings, particularly through HVAC systems. To support the transition, the government implemented Decree No. 13.094/2026 to regulate the National Sustainable Aviation Fuel Program (ProBioQAV), aligning with international standards.

In response to these developments, industrial leaders in Goiás are advocating for clearer regulatory frameworks. During the 26th DATAGRO International Sugar and Ethanol Conference, representatives emphasized that defined public policies are essential for long-term planning and investment. Specific interests include the potential expansion of ethanol use into maritime transport and addressing challenges related to climate change and the energy transition.
