Project description (DE)

Der städtische Verkehr und die Industrie verbrauchen 64,9 Prozent der Energie in Brasilien. Dennoch nutzte der Verkehr 2024 nur 25,7 Prozent erneuerbare Energien; in der Industrie waren es 64,4 Prozent. Gleichzeitig gehört Brasilien zu den Ländern mit dem höchsten Anteil an erneuerbaren Energien. Die natürlichen Voraussetzungen für Wind- und Solarenergie sind sehr gut. Dadurch könnte die Energiewirtschaft zum wichtigsten Motor für eine grüne und wettbewerbsfähige brasilianische Wirtschaft werden. Sie kann Arbeitsplätze schaffen und die brasilianische Regierung mit Steuereinnahmen unterstützen.
Der städtische Verkehr und die Industrie in Brasilien sind klimaneutral, umweltfreundlich und sozial gerecht.
Das Projekt arbeitet mit Verantwortlichen aus dem Verkehrsbereich, um die Vorteile klimafreundlicher Mobilität in zwei Bereichen zu demonstrieren: öffentlicher Personenverkehr und Stadtlogistik. Beispielsweise berät es Behörden dabei, technische Lösungen und Innovationen zu entwickeln sowie Geschäftsmodelle umzusetzen, die den öffentlichen Nahverkehr und die Letzte-Meile-Logistik klimafreundlicher und besser machen.
In der Industrie arbeitet das Projekt mit Unternehmen und Verbänden, sodass es die Vorteile davon aufzeigen kann, Strom für die Wärmeenergie zu nutzen. Damit baut es die Diskussion zum Thema aus. Zudem berät das Projekt die Unternehmen, klimaneutrale Prozesse in der Lebensmittel- und Getränkeindustrie zu erproben. Alle Aktivitäten koordiniert das Projekt mit dem brasilianischen Ministerium für Bergbau und Energie. Es erhält zudem strategische Unterstützung von weiteren Behörden wie den Ministerien für Städte, Industrie und Wissenschaft sowie dem Energieforschungsamt.

 

 

Project description (EN)

Urban transport and industry together account for 64.9 per cent of Brazil’s energy consumption. Yet in 2024 only 25.7 percent of the energy consumed in the transport sector was renewable; while the figure for industry was 64.4 percent. At the same time, Brazil is one of the countries with the highest proportions of renewable energy. The natural conditions in Brazil are very favourable for wind and solar power, so the energy sector could become the most important driver of a green, competitive economy in Brazil. It can create jobs and support the Brazilian Government by generating tax revenue.
Brazil’s urban transport and industrial sectors are climate-neutral, environmentally-friendly and socially fair.
The project works with those responsible in the transport sector to demonstrate the advantages of climate-friendly mobility in two fields: public transport and urban logistics. For example, it advises public authorities on developing technical solutions and innovations and on realising business models that improve local public transport and last-mile logistics and make them more climate-friendly.
In industry the project cooperates with companies and associations to demonstrate the advantages of using electricity to generate thermal energy. This broadens the discussion on the topic. In addition, the project advises the companies on trialling climate-neutral processes in the food and beverage industry.
The project coordinates all its activities with the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy. It is also strategically supported by other authorities such as the ministries of cities, industry and science, and the Energy Research Office.
 

 

Project description (PT)

O transporte urbano e os processos industriais no Brasil respondem hoje por 65% de todo o consumo de energia no país. No entanto, o transporte consumiu apenas 21,5% e a indústria 62% de toda a energia renovável gerada no país em 2022. Isso apesar de o Brasil ter uma das maiores parcelas de energia renovável do mundo. Portanto, unir esses segmentos de consumo com o segmento de geração de eletricidade renovável oferece um enorme potencial de descarbonização para o Brasil e pode transformá-lo em uma das economias mais verdes e competitivas do mundo.
O transporte urbano e a indústria brasileira são mais neutros ao clima, ecologicamente corretos e socialmente justos.
O projeto desenvolve soluções para a eletrificação do transporte urbano, bem como a eletrificação da indústria brasileira. Ele coopera com atores relevantes do segmento dos transportes para provar os benefícios de soluções de mobilidade sensíveis ao clima em três áreas: transporte público de passageiros, limpeza urbana e logística urbana. Por exemplo, o projeto fornece assessoria sobre o desenvolvimento de ferramentas digitais e inovações e sobre como desenvolver modelos de negócios para melhorar a viabilidade econômica do transporte público urbano. Também coopera com atores relevantes da indústria para demonstrar as vantagens da substituição de combustíveis fósseis por eletricidade em processos industriais. Entre outras coisas, o projeto também fornece assessoria na identificação dos segmentos e processos industriais mais adequados para a implementação dos objetivos do projeto e no teste de conceitos de eletrificação em indústrias selecionadas, por exemplo, usando bombas de calor.
Todas as atividades do projeto são coordenadas em parceria com o Ministério de Minas e Energia.
