ENERGY MATRIX

ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION BY FUEL TYPE

Why is Brazil so green? Lack of coal and oil Abundance of rivers and land HYDROPOWER ETHANOL

Why is Brazil so green? Lack of coal and oil Abundance of rivers and land HYDROPOWER ETHANOL

2,400 electricity production plants 908 of which are hydropower plants

10 largest hydropower plants in Brazil account for 30% of the country’s installed capacity

Why is Brazil so green? Lack of coal and oil Abundance of rivers and land HYDROPOWER ETHANOL

The world’s largest flex fuel fleet of vehicles (more than 10 million)

28% of the fuel used in Brazil is biofuel, primarily ethanol

Why do we have reason to believe that Brazil will keep its matrix clean? Because of the huge unexplored potential in green sources HYDROPOWER WIND FARMS BIOMASS

Why do we have reason to believe that Brazil will keep its matrix clean? Because of the huge unexplored potential in green sources HYDROPOWER WIND FARMS BIOMASS

Only 1/3 of the potential in use (official version)

The remaining 2/3 is unsustainable (experts version)

BELO MONTE  Location: Xingu Basin, Amazon  Capacity: 11,000 MW  Start of the production: 2015  Energy supply for 60 million people ITAIPU: 14,000 MW

Why do we have reason to believe that Brazil will keep its matrix clean? Because of the huge unexplored potential in green sources HYDROPOWER WIND FARMS BIOMASS

Installed capacity 2005 – 29 MW 2013 – 5,272 MW

Brazil has the largest wind generation potential of the world, and the best wind

Why do we have reason to believe that Brazil will keep its matrix clean? Because of the huge unexplored potential in green sources HYDROPOWER WIND FARMS BIOMASS

Installed capacity 2006 – 1,755 MW 2013 – 8,915 MW

Sugar cane uses less than 6% of the planted land in Brazil

Cultivated land in Brazil uses 72% of arable farmland

What is the news that could change everything? Pre-salt: A new frontier beneath the ocean (bbl)

ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION PER CAPITA

BRAZIL  190 million people  16.2 million living in extreme poverty The country has it all: water, air and sun Oil revenue must put us in the right technological run
