The intensive exploration of natural resources has begun to take
a heavy toll on the environment, economic models appear to have
been worn out, and major cultural and technological transformations
are underway. The energy issue is particularly important in the
context of the technological and economic transformations that are
in progress and which will be consolidated in the near future. In
the search for environmental sustainability, renewable energy is
the key. Brazil, with its potential in terms of available
agricultural land, excellent weather conditions, and considerable
levels of specific technological development, stands out as a
target for investment and great opportunity in the sector. The 2011
Brazilian Renewable Energy Yearbook - Renergy - in its first
edition, maps out the renewable energy sector in Brazil,
identifying potential, obstacles, and perspectives. Besides the now
traditional ethanol and biodiesel, this yearbook presents a
structured and holistic vision of an economic sector that will
create profound transformation in the global economy. Renowned
professionals have written technical articles on the role played by
biomass, small hydroelectric plants and wind and solar energy in
Brazil's energy matrix. Other points, such as logistical challenges
and investments in land for greenfield projects are also presented.
Information and analysis can also be found on biofuels, carbon
credits, and governmental policy on other continents, as well as,
finally, energetic analysis. The Renewable Energy Yearbook is a
strategic planning tool which, in providing the most reliable
information, will be of great use to investors, professionals in
the area, researchers, academics, and others. English &
Portuguese bi-lingual edition; available in hardback and
CD-ROM.
