Integration of Mining and Agribusiness as Catalysts for the Energy Transition in Brazil

Resumo

Brazil has a relatively clean energy matrix; however, it faces significant structural challenges to advance in decarbonization. This article highlights the country's dependence on imported inputs, such as fertilizers and rare earth minerals, which are essential for the energy transition. The integration between the mining and agribusiness sectors emerges as a strategic opportunity to overcome these obstacles, promoting the development of internal supply chains and strengthening national autonomy. Furthermore, this integration encourages technological innovation in renewable energies and biofuels, allowing Brazil to reduce its carbon footprint and increase its global competitiveness in the context of the green economy, meeting international climate commitments.
