Resumo

This proposal is based on the assumption that the wider use of the best current commercial energy efficient technologies, processes and best practices can represent a cost-effective and significant Brazilian contribution towards global efforts in stabilizing the atmospheric concentration of GHGs during the next 30 years, provided that their wider dissemination is promoted. A better understanding of existing barriers to scale-up the use of more efficient technologies and addressing suitable policies to guarantee wider dissemination and that the existing energy efficiency potential, is a key element that needs to be brought to the attention of relevant decision-makers. The chalIenge is, therefore, related to the implementation of policies that are able to disseminate and scale-up the adoption of the best available technologies and processes. The objectives of the current proposal are two-fold: a) it is intended to evaluate the potential of energy efficiency available in three sectors of the economy (Buildings, industry and transportation) assuming projections over a 30-year time frame according to a select set of different schemes of dissemination policies (control mechanisms¹, funding mechanisms², support³ and market mechanisms4); b) rank the analyzed dissemination policies according to their relevance and impacts towards climate mitigation efforts using multicriteria analysis. Therefore the objective is not only to provide quantitative estimates of energy savings (and CO2 reductions) but also show the best ways to achieve these savings. The main target audience of this proposal is the public decision-makers which need a clear understanding of the impacts in climate mitigation efforts of portfolio of options conceming efficiency measures and related dissemination policies.
