Biomass for energy generation in Brazil: Looking for lost allure

Excluding big hydroelectric plants, renewable energy sources account for only 7% of the total installed energy capacity in Latin America and the Caribbean. Almost half of this capacity (10.2 GW) corresponds to biomass from bagasse, the dry waste from sugarcane. Brazil, the world's largest producer of sugar and the second largest producer of ethanol, is the absolute leader in production of energy from sugarcane biomass in Latin America, accounting for more than 80% of total production in the region. In this report we will look at the panorama for biomass as a source of electric energy in Brazil and its prospects for the future.

IT and energy efficiency: Smart buildings

Latin America has a daunting energy challenge ahead. In order to prolong the economic growth and improvements in living standards, the region must expand its electricity generation capacity enormously and improve energy efficiency as well. So called passive energy efficiency measures, such as insulation or low-consumption equipment are not enough, and the contribution of information technology (IT) in design, construction and installation has become key. One area in which there are plenty of opportunities to use IT to reduce consumption is in buildings, a model that is being seen increasingly often in Latin American cities.

Water and energy: In search of the perfect model

Water management is a challenge for every country in Latin America, especially considering that in many cases there is either no legal framework to regulate water resources or it is obsolete. In this sense, the majority of countries find themselves evaluating or implementing plans that involve the integrated management of water resources, considering multi-sector use and comprehensive management of water basins. Given the growing interest in developing renewable energy sources throughout the region, this issue is especially relevant for the future of energy in Latin America.

The Argentine electric power sector: generation and transportation

In Argentina, the efforts of the authorities have been directed at avoiding a possible energy crisis, which many economists and specialists have been predicting since 2003. Working on a switch to an integrated mix of nuclear, hydroelectric and wind energy would make it possible to satisfy demand and transform the Argentine energy matrix. This would require an annual investment of no less than US$3 billion over the course of a decade. This report studies the changes that are being carried out in the electric power sector in Argentina, a country that has abundant energy resources -unexploited hydroelectric potential of 36 GW, as well as abundant natural and shale gas- and the prospects for the short and medium term.

Survey 2012: Results and Analysis

Strong growth in electricity demand, problems with transmission systems and regulations that require reforms, among other factors, make up a complex cocktail that keeps a majority of Latin American countries flirting with energy disaster. However, the problems also present significant business opportunities, as the answers from most of the experts surveyed by BNamericas reflect. In that sense, 2012 has been identified as an important year for electricity generation projects in Latin America, as well as one in which we will continue to see M&A activity in the electric power sector.
