Abstract

Despite its natural vocation for renewable energies, Brazil has suffered disproportionately from climate crises and changes in hydrological cycles, with variations of up to ⅓ in the electricity sector's carbon footprint due to droughts, reductions in hydroelectric production and migration to carbonized options. At the same time, the liberalization energy trade has been taking place in the country and, like the other liberal energy trades around the world, it has been established without any associated climate policy, although advances in low climate impact options have been observed, unintentionally. Organizations committed to reducing their emission indicators have been taking the lead in buying energy with a low emission factor on the liberalized market, encouraging the market, and the traders themselves are catalyzing these options too. Thus, this article proposes an analysis of the potential of the Brazilian liberalized energy trade that is still in progress, in the face of decarbonization of the energy matrix, through bibliographical research, technical reports and historical and current documentary research on the subject.
