Journal ArticleDOI
Energy requirements of households in Brazil
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a generalized input-output model to calculate the energy embodied in goods and services purchased by households of different income levels in 11 capital cities of Brazil.
Journal ArticleDOI
The threat of political bargaining to climate mitigation in Brazil
Pedro Rochedo,Britaldo Soares-Filho,Roberto Schaeffer,Eduardo Viola,Alexandre Szklo,André F.P. Lucena,Alexandre C. Köberle,Juliana Leroy Davis,Raoni Rajão,Régis Rathmann +9 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles as a way to maximize the integration of variable renewable energy in power systems: The case of wind generation in northeastern Brazil
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The vulnerability of renewable energy to climate change in Brazil
André F.P. Lucena,Alexandre Szklo,Roberto Schaeffer,Raquel Rodrigues Souza,Bruno Soares Moreira Cesar Borba,Isabella V.L. Costa,Amaro Olímpio Pereira Junior,Sergio Henrique Ferreira da Cunha +7 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural decomposition of energy use in Brazil from 1970 to 1996
Ulrike Wachsmann,Ulrike Wachsmann,Ulrike Wachsmann,Richard Wood,Manfred Lenzen,Manfred Lenzen,Roberto Schaeffer +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the sources of changes in energy use of the Brazilian economy of industries and households from 1970 to 1996, using structural decomposition analysis based on the logarithmic mean divisia index technique.
