German-Brazilian Energy Partnership

Context

Brazil’s energy mix is among the cleanest in the world, with renewables accounting for nearly half. Brazil is therefore well above the average for leading industrial nations.

The German-Brazilian Energy Partnership promotes policy dialogue between Germany and Brazil. In this way, it also supports energy security and private-sector dialogue, and allows new business opportunities to develop in the two countries.

Objective

In Germany and Brazil, energy is climate-friendly, secure and affordable.

Approach

The secretariat in Brasília has provided organisational support and specialist expertise since 2017. It is the contact point for all those involved and arranges regular meetings with the relevant ministries of both countries.

Furthermore, the project has set up working groups that regularly discuss two main topics:

  • A fair and inclusive energy transition
  • Clean energy for industrial decarbonisation

The working groups are open to participants from the private sector, research and academia, civil society and government. In addition, the energy partnership organises specialist workshops, energy policy conferences and panel discussions.

In doing so, the project focuses on increasing energy efficiency and integrating renewable energies.
