  3. ENERGY MATRIX

  4. ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION BY FUEL TYPE

  5. Why is Brazil so green? Lack of coaland oil Abundance of rivers and land • HYDROPOWER • ETHANOL

  6. Why is Brazil so green? Lack of coal and oil Abundance of rivers and land • HYDROPOWER • ETHANOL

  7. 2,400 electricity production plants908 of which are hydropower plants

  8. 10 largest hydropower plants in Brazil account for 30% of the country’s installed capacity

  9. Why is Brazil so green? Lack of coal and oil Abundance of rivers and land • HYDROPOWER • ETHANOL

  10. The world’s largest flex fuel fleet of vehicles (more than 10 million)

  11. 28% of the fuel used in Brazil is biofuel, primarily ethanol

  12. Why do we have reason to believe that Brazil will keep its matrix clean? Because of the huge unexplored potential in green sources • HYDROPOWER • WIND FARMS • BIOMASS

  13. Why do we have reason to believe that Brazil will keep its matrix clean? Because of the huge unexplored potential in green sources • HYDROPOWER • WIND FARMS • BIOMASS

  14. Only 1/3 of the potential in use(official version)

  15. The remaining 2/3 is unsustainable(experts version)

  16. BELO MONTE • Location: Xingu Basin, Amazon • Capacity: 11,000 MW • Start of the production: 2015 • Energysupply for 60 millionpeople ITAIPU: 14,000 MW

  17. Why do we have reason to believe that Brazil will keep its matrix clean? Because of the huge unexplored potential in green sources • HYDROPOWER • WIND FARMS • BIOMASS

  18. Installed capacity2005 – 29 MW2013 – 5,272 MW

  19. Brazil has the largest wind generation potential of the world, and the best wind

  20. Why do we have reason to believe that Brazil will keep its matrix clean? Because of the huge unexplored potential in green sources • HYDROPOWER • WIND FARMS • BIOMASS

  21. Installed capacity2006 – 1,755 MW2013 – 8,915 MW

  22. Sugar cane uses less than 6% of the planted land in Brazil

  23. Cultivated land in Brazil uses 72% of arable farmland

  24. What is the news that could change everything? Pre-salt: A new frontier beneath the ocean (bbl)

  25. ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION PER CAPITA
