Brazil Leads G20 with 89% Renewable Electricity Surge

12 Jul 2024 CW Team

Brazil has emerged as a standout among G20 nations in renewable energy adoption, according to the latest report by the global energy think tank Ember. In 2023, Brazil achieved an impressive milestone by generating 89% of its electricity from renewable sources, far surpassing the global average of 30%. Kostantsa Rangelova, an analyst at Ember, praised Brazil's progress, noting that the country had become a leader in renewables. She highlighted Brazil's historical reliance on hydroelectric power and its successful integration of wind and solar energy into its portfolio.

Rangelova emphasized that Brazil's emphasis on renewables has not only reduced its reliance on fossil fuels but also positioned it as a model for other G20 nations. She pointed out that in recent years, wind and solar energy alone contributed 21% of Brazil's electricity, a significant increase from 6% in 2016. Brazil also recorded one of the largest annual rises in wind and solar energy production globally, second only to China.

Despite these advancements, Rangelova acknowledged global challenges. While many G20 countries have seen reductions in their power sector emissions, overall emissions continue to rise, largely due to increased energy demands in emerging economies. She urged other nations to follow Brazil's lead in adopting sustainable energy practices to mitigate climate change concerns.

In conclusion, Brazil's proactive approach not only underscores its dedication to sustainability but also provides a blueprint for global energy transformation. Rangelova suggested that by emulating Brazil's strategies, G20 nations could lead the way towards a more sustainable energy future.
