Brazilian Wind Farms Produce More than Megawatts

Brazilian Wind Farms Produce More than Megawatts

By definition, every form of renewable energy offers environmental benefits. Whether for solar, wind, geothermal, or any of the many other renewable sources, there is no extraction process and no carbon release into the atmosphere beyond the initial construction process. However, each renewable energy source has a distinct environmental profile, impact on the location’s community, and footprint. When considered against these factors, wind energy may be the least impactful and the most beneficial type of renewable source available today.

El nuevo borrador de PNIEC se vuelve más verde y ambicioso

El nuevo borrador de PNIEC se vuelve más verde y ambicioso

El Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico ha actualizado el Plan Nacional Integrado de Energía y Clima (PNIEC) 2021-2030 y ahora contempla un nuevo objetivo de reducción de emisiones de CO2 del 23%, frente al 21% de la primera versión. El carbón desaparecerá por completo, mientras que las renovables serán las grandes protagonistas, generando tres de cada cuatro kilovatios que consumamos en 2030, si bien la nueva hoja de ruta reduce en 10.000 millones el dinero que destina a estas fuentes.
