Discussing Renewables in Brazil
The work that Brazil has done in renewable energy is legendary. Clean energy – mainly ethanol made from huge sugarcane fields — accounts for more than 85.4% of their domestically supplied energy.
The country stands as a model of decision making that spans the public and private sectors. After the volatility of the oil markets of the 1970s, Brazil made concentrated attack on developing alternative sources of energy. In addition to powering its fleets with a minimum of gasoline, Brazil has been extremely effective in diversifying its energy portfolio with wind and hydrokinetics.
It is for this reason that I can think of no better host for an energy conference. One of the directors of the Renewable and Alternative Energy in the Southern Cone asked me to let readers know about it, and I said I’d be happy to; just click the link above.
The Renewable and Alternative Energy in the Southern Cone conference is definitely going to be an amazing opportunity to all players in the energy sector. We will be able to discuss ideas, exchange experiences and specific knowledge about the last techniques, and specially show the world the southern potencialities which are not always known by foreign companies and energy investors.
