This axis promotes cutting-edge national technologies in renewable energy sources and the strengthening of their production chains. It encourages the use of clean energy sources in the productive sector, focusing on green products. It stimulates decarbonization in land, maritime, and air transport, moving the sector toward emissions neutrality.
It employs fiscal, regulatory, and credit incentives to boost the production of new energy sources, such as green diesel, second-generation ethanol, low-carbon hydrogen, among others. It leverages national content policies and technological procurement to promote new low-carbon solutions in industrial production and transport. It also regulates the gradual increase in carbon-neutral blends in fuels.
Key Actions:
- With the Future Fuel Law, this axis, in collaboration with other Ministries and branches of government, outlines a predictable pathway, sets advanced goals, and fosters R&D&I to drive progress in biofuels — such as biodiesel, green diesel, ethanol, biomethane, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) — as well as carbon capture technologies, all of which have high export potential. It supports new concessions for wind and solar energy, including distributed mini-generation.
- On the legislative front, it establishes a new regulatory framework for low-carbon hydrogen and develops the legal framework for offshore wind energy, with a strategy for technological deepening in both value chains.
- Through the National Fund for Industrial and Technological Development (FNDIT), it launches the Green Mobility and Innovation Program (Mover), securing new investments in the production of less polluting vehicles. In urban areas, it funds electrified public transport infrastructure, requiring the use of domestic components, generating jobs and income for the Brazilian population.
- The New Brazil initiative, in partnership with other Ministries and the Legislative Branch, seeks to implement an innovative legal framework aimed at strengthening the technological value chain for rare earth elements and critical minerals, which are strategic for the ecological transition, ensuring national sovereignty in this key sector of the new low-carbon economy.
