Local and international financial institutions are rallying to support infrastructure and energy projects in Brazil, as revealed during the Energy Summit in Rio de Janeiro. The focus is on increasing equity investment in infrastructure, renewable energy generation, and power distribution. The World Bank Group is particularly interested in green hydrogen initiatives, while BNDES eyes the demand for biofuels and energy storage systems, in addition to ensuring a stable supply chain for critical minerals used in battery production. BNDES announced plans to invest up to 10bn reais in companies aligned with ecological transition, decarbonization, and innovation, with funds sourced from divestments in mature companies. Finep, in partnership with BNDES, is launching funding calls to support projects in areas like urban infrastructure, green mobility, and energy transition. With a positive sentiment towards green innovation, Brazil is positioning itself as a benchmark in sustainable aviation fuels and bioeconomy. The growing movement of investments, totaling around 2.5bn reais for this year's calls, indicates a strong commitment to driving green initiatives and technological advancements in the country.
