Brazilian government has reaffirmed its commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, achieving a 50% reduction in 2030 and offsetting carbon emissions by 2050. The country has a great advantage and is at the forefront of building the new era of sustainable mobility. While many countries discuss the best alternatives to effectively reduce carbo emissions, Brazil’s ethanol is an effective and economically viable solution to this global agenda. In recent decades, the presence of renewable biofuel has avoided the emission of more than 600 million tons of CO2 in the country. Ethanol places the city of São Paulo, the fourth most populous city in the world, as one of the world’s least polluted metropolises. The country continues to advance in its targets with the world’s largest program to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy. With this, Renovabio avoided the emission of almost 31 million tons of CO2 in 2021.
