A Cop30The largest global event on climate change, which will be its main headquarters in Billim, Bara, in 2025, can be a Brazil’s offer to show her hero in energy transfer to a low -carbon economy, according to experts who have heard before CNN.
The economic incentive resulting from the low carbon market can be a strategic piece of the country to fit the greatest inevitable in the twenty -first century: Carbon removal from the economy.
Brazil as an example
after The penalty for the law that regulates the market Here in Brazil, approved at the end of 2024, the sector had clearer rules.
In practice, the regulations state that companies responsible for launching carbon gases in large quantities in the atmosphere should compensate for their emissions and encourage those who are born credits to preserve and preserve green areas.
For Rita Fero, ABCARBON president, the organizational framework shows the way for Brazil as a major player in this market.
This is because this attracts the legal certainty of the negotiations The attention of international leaders For the sustainable model that the country can develop.
At the same time, the logic of the market is also favorable to Brazil, according to the economist and professor FGV SãO Paulo, Gesner Oliveira.
This is because what the system suggests is that the areas that take longer to liquidate “the purchase of carbon credit from the sector that can be more efficient, which are faster in technological innovation to reduce emissions.”
S. Carbon credit What the teacher refers to is a role that proves that the company has invested in an initiative that allowed to reduce carbon emissions or help to obtain part of it.
Projects that originated from carbon credit purchasing will be, for example, re -equipping an unintended area or adopting renewable energy sources.
In this regard, Brazil has a favorable area for projects related to the market to develop, because the country has a great biological diversity and consists of nearly half of the energy matrix from renewable sources.
In this COP30, Brazil should seek to enhance its leadership in the global climate agenda, with one of its main goals Reducing greenhouse gases.
With the expansion of industry and the promising future, the government must adopt the carbon market as a strategy to achieve these goals.
At the climate conference, according to the President of Abcarbon, it is necessary to show that it is possible to unify the environment, innovation and social justice Through the market.
“It is the ones who maintains income, stimulates income into the countryside, stimulates the preservation of green areas and new technologies and turns environmental responsibility into an economic opportunity for the entire country,” says Viraau.
A golden opportunity for sustainable development
Brazil can have access to economic opportunities whose model directs to more sustainable growth, with the transformation of the production chain, an increase in foreign investment and the creation of new jobs in the country.
According to a study conducted by ICC Brazil, the country can generate up to $ 100 billion of revenues in Carbon market Until 2030, there are sectors such as agricultural work, energy and forests among the main beneficiaries.
Mathieu Piccin, the SCNEIDER Electric business of Latin America, explains that the market expansion should stimulate technological innovation in the Brazilian industry.
“We suggest through sustainable development to generate qualified jobs. However, it is possible to expect to increase scientific research and development in the country,” Pikin notes.
In thinking about the chances of the national industry, Professor FGV was included in Sao Paulo Green hydrogen production As one of the stakes that can grow with the market.
“There are interesting projects to produce green hydrogen. It is estimated that about $ 31 billion has already been invested in Projects hydrogen Low carbon emissions “, this investment can be higher, while this sector develops, puts Olivira.
The change in the Brazilian industrial base can come through capital The foreigner that the carbon market brings to the country.
Through the organizational framework, carbon credits can now be tracked, making the dangerous environmental investments in size, as experts argue.
Meanwhile, for private companies, the system can be an economical engine that increases a sustainable production model. Given that the market organization requires companies to adhere to the goals of emissions as they gain financially.
In addition, “the market can enable the redistribution of wealth, access opportunities more powerful than other types of employment and more integrated in nature,” explains the Director of the Schneider Electric.
No wonder the Brazilian ICC scanning, you expect the country to be able to generate 8.5 million jobs by 2050. For Rita Verao, this is a series that everyone earns: environment, economy and society.
Sustainable matrix and international agreements
when The historical agreement between Mercosur and Euroan Uponic Clochs It was announced, part of the countries that make up the European bloc, such as France, Poland and Austria, showed resistance to the treaty.
The main arguments used by European farmers were the loss of competitiveness that the sector could enjoy over the Brazilian sector and the unfair competition for European production standards, which employ significant sustainability resources.
In Rita Verao’s evaluation, who is also vice president of municipalities and businessmen, the expansion of the low carbon market shows that Brazil has giant green potential and is ready to provide more than speeches.
“This enhances international confidence and Opening agreements like Mercosur – European UnionThat has clear environmental requirements. “
“When we appear that we have the danger, transparency, technology and real results in our operations, the perception of changes in Brazil and the agreements advance positively to generate revenues to the entire country by strengthening a full chain,” he says.
In addition, the global trend is that the products and goods resulting from sustainable production chains have a greater demand. “On the global market, the assets with low carbon fingerprint will be more competitive,” adds Gesner Oliveira.
Challenges
Although the regulatory framework has established a Brazilian greenhouse trade system, an important step, the low carbon market still has future structural challenges to unify and expand.
“First, it is important to make it clear that last year’s law still needs to be regulated. The law is not enough, it is an important step first, and it is a structure that needs more details through regulations,” Besin explains.
It is expected that in the coming years, more accurate rules will be defined regarding emissions limit by companies and the productive sector and improving negotiating steps, as carbon credits are negotiated.
According to the President of Abcarbon, many credits are currently being sold without a crystal, which means that although it has been purchased, the projects that are derived from them have never left the paper.
“The challenge is to stop covering the sun with a sieve.”
“us Cop30We need to talk about real and effective solutions. “The market will not be effective unless it is validated, safe and generated by social, environmental and economic influence for all,” says Viraau.
In addition to compensation, companies also need to understand that the sector is a step towards Effective carbon removal of the economy.
That is, the low carbon market is a strategy for mitigating climate effects, but the sectors can not only compensate, but to convert its productive model with the sector, it argues with the manager of Schneider Electric.
“Rural producers can generate income by maintaining the status of forests. Industries can compensate for emissions with real projects and companies that do not adapt to the loss of the market, not by ideology, but out of competitiveness,” adds ABCARBON.
The challenge of the other market like the project structure is the regional inequality in the country.
“While some areas have reasonable infrastructure, like the southeast, other areas are very poor in infrastructure, in the north, northeast,” says Professor FGV.
“There are challenges for infrastructure such as providing electric cars. There is no use in having an electric car if it does not have an infrastructure for supply. In practice, there is a long way to be able to get a more convenient infrastructure,” says Olivira.
