Improving Renovabio for Energy Transition In Brazil: Cbios Perspective
Short Introductive summary
In recent years, market-based mechanisms have been hailed as an effective economic way to tackle climate change. In Brazil, Biofuel Decarbonisation Credits (CBIOS) were created in 2017 to reduce emissions in line with Brazil’s commitments in the Paris Agreement, mitigate the economic crisis that has affected the biofuels industry over the past decade, and incentivize efficiency in biofuels’ production system. The aim of this study is, therefore, to assess its effectiveness, considering Brazil’s emissions profile and abatement opportunities, while verifying its alignment with climate policy fundamentals. Our preliminary results show that while covering the road transport sector ensures CBIOS is tackling a key challenge of Brazil’s energy system decarbonization, a more comprehensive carbon pricing mechanism could provide the opportunity for more cost-effective mitigation.
