Energia : low carbon emissions scenario in Brazil - synthesis report /  Roberto Schaeffer,  Alexandre Szklo, Christophe de Gouvello. World Bank working paper ; 59358, 2010, 224 p.http://go.worldbank.org/YRUNPEP0U0This report synthesis the findings for the energy sector of a broader  study, the Brazil low carbon study, which was undertaken by the World  Bank in its initiative to support Brazil's integrated effort towards  reducing national and global emissions of greenhouse gases while  promoting long term development. The main aim of the study is to examine  the potential for abating Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in Brazil in  the energy area and to assess the relative costs of doing so for the  time frame 2010-2030. Basically the study seeks to demonstrate by how  much, by when and at what cost Brazil could reduce its GHG energy sector  emissions. Given its special features, the fuel use and emissions of  greenhouse gases in the transportation sector are dealt with in another  report of this project. In addition the study aims to provide  information for the Brazilian government to enable it to develop a  long-term strategy (2030) for reducing carbon in the energy area (except  the transport sector) and, more specifically, to provide the technical  input needed for evaluating the potential for reducing greenhouse gas  emissions produced by the key economic sectors. In short, the study  seeks to identify the different options and opportunities that could  justify possible international resources being allocated to Brazil... (© World Bank)
