BRAZIL TO CUT CARBO EMISSIONS IN TRANSPORTATION WITHOUT COMPROMISING FOOD PRODUCTION

The “Brazil in Motion” conference in São Paulo explored ways to cut carbon emissions in transportation, focusing on biofuels and bioelectrification. A key presentation by Professor Glaucia Souza (USP/FAPESP) highlighted the importance of biofuels as a fast-acting solution to lower emissions without affecting food supplies. Her research suggests that boosting alternative fuel adoption could reduce the sector’s global emissions by up to 10% by 2030. Attendees, including government, industry, and academic leaders, highlighted Brazil’s potential to lead in bioenergy, creating jobs and fostering sustainable growth. They also stressed the importance of strong government policies to attract investment and support the domestic biofuel industry.
