The goal of tripling the use of renewable energy in the world and to double the energy efficiency by 2030, according to a document signed in COP28, brings Brazil the opportunity to be a leader in the process of energy transition.
The assessment is from ABSOLAR (Brazilian Photovoltaic Solar Energy Association). The association was present in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, represented by the advisor Rodrigo Pedroso.
In ABSOLAR's opinion, the agreement signed during the event recognizes the strategic role of renewable energy in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. greenhouse gases and combating climate change.
Also according to the association, one of the points of attention is the absence of an explicit commitment to the gradual elimination of fossil fuels. “This scenario is not insufficient to limit the increase in global temperatures, threatening to intensify extreme weather events and the damage resulting from global warming,” said ABSOLAR.
“Renewable sources, especially photovoltaic solar, are greatly strengthened at COP 28, with a clear commitment from the governments of 119 countries to expand their use this decade. Without renewables, the goal of maintaining global warming at 1.5º C, as determined in the Paris Agreement of 2015, would be unattainable”, highlighted Pedroso.
“At this COP 28, it became clear that many countries plan to be, within decades, at a level of development of renewable sources that Brazil already has today. Furthermore, there was a consensus that the Amazon is one of Brazil's greatest environmental assets and needs to transform this potential into socioeconomic development for the region and its populations”, he added.
For the executive president of ABSOLAR, Rodrigo Sauaia, given the agreement signed at COP 28, the entity and the Brazilian solar sector are committed and ready to accelerate Brazil's decarbonization.
“With the combination of sustainable solar photovoltaic technologies, electrical energy storage and green hydrogen we can, in a short time, boost social, economic and environmental development, with the generation of thousands of new green jobs, bringing more income to workers and the population”, concluded Sauaia.
