Arena MRV, home of Atlético Mineiro, has obtained the renewable energy certificate from Cemig (Minas Gerais Energy Company) for another year, proving that all energy consumed in the stadium in 2024 – equivalent to 3.447.715 kWh – came from clean sources, with no greenhouse gas emissions.
According to the club, the use of these sources has already prevented the emission of approximately 190 tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere during this period. The certification obtained is part of a set of environmental initiatives that have been implemented at the site since its inauguration.
The stadium operates in the Free Energy Market, acquiring electricity from other renewable sources. In addition to low-impact electricity, the Arena also adopts measures such as conscious use of water, waste management and preservation of green areas.
The continuity of these actions places the stadium among the Brazilian sports enterprises that seek to align operations and sustainability.
