The sticker you purchase at our partner retail store is linked to a renewable energy project in Brazil that plays a pivotal role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by harnessing renewable sources of energy and employing clean technology. By generating electricity through these sustainable methods, the project effectively avoids the CO2 emissions associated with fossil fuel-based power generation.
The initiative is particularly significant in light of Brazil's economic and population growth, which has led to an increased demand for electricity. By contributing clean and renewable energy to the national grid, this project not only meets this growing demand but also bolsters Brazil's environmental, social, and economic sustainability. It significantly increases the share of clean and renewable energy in the country’s total electricity consumption.
A notable aspect of this project is the installation of the HPP Barra Grande, which has the capacity to supply a substantial portion of the energy needs of local regions. It can provide 30% of the energy demand for the state of Santa Catarina and 20% of the energy consumed in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
This project demonstrates Brazil's commitment to sustainable energy solutions, effectively balancing the country's developmental needs with environmental considerations and contributing to a greener future.
