True or False: Energy Transition
The energy transition, the process of gradually replacing fossil energy sources with renewable and sustainable alternatives, is one of today's greatest global challenges. This transformation seeks to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, expand energy efficiency, and promote a more resilient and accessible energy system. In Brazil, the topic is gaining relevance due to the country's strategic role in renewable energy. However, many doubts about benefits and effectiveness still surround the issue.
Here are some true or false about the energy transition:
The energy transition is just about exchanging fossil fuels for renewable ones.
False. Although the replacement of fossil fuels is a pillar of the energy transition, it also involves changes in energy production, distribution, and consumption models. As an example, the modernization of electrical grids (such as the use of smart grids) and new technologies for storing and transporting energy, such as green hydrogen and advanced batteries.
The energy transition has been going on since the 19th century.
True. In the 19th century, during the Industrial Revolution, coal replaced firewood and soon after, in the 20th century, it was replaced by oil. Now is the time for renewable energies to succeed oil, but this time, the urgency of a transition is even greater, as the need to protect the planet against global warming increases significantly.
Even with a clean energy matrix, Brazil has not yet completed its energy transition.
Renewable energies are no more expensive than fossil fuels.
The energy transition does not benefit emerging countries.
It is possible to carry out the energy transition without public policies.
The energy transition is the solution to all environmental problems.
The energy transition is beneficial to economic development.
