TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the impacts that climate change may have throughout the energy chain and identify current knowledge gaps and areas for future research development, concluding that one of the greatest challenges is how to assess impacts which may occur as a consequence of the projected increase in the intensity of extreme weather events.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the current state of the debate over competition for land use, by means of an index of the main arguments in favor and against the production of liquid biofuels and the impacts on food production.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore 2'°C-compliant CO2 emission scenarios estimating the effort needed in other sectors of the economy to compensate for the weakening of environmental governance, potentially resulting in higher deforestation emissions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the possibility of using a fleet of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) to regularize possible energy imbalances in northeastern Brazil.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the vulnerabilities of renewable energy production in Brazil for the cases of hydropower generation and liquid bio-fuels production, given a set of long-term climate projections for the A2 and B2 IPCC emission scenarios.
