Environment and renewable energy

Eu sou a favor da transição energética.

O Brasil tem de realmente abraçar essa transição energética, inclusive o hidrogênio verde.

Agora, o que o governo precisa fazer é ter linhas de financiamento, é ter uma economia pujante e não empresas quebrando, e ter gente que esteja aprendendo para poder trabalhar num setor que está nascendo.

So we have to remember that lithium... that electromagnets are fundamental in this energy transition that the globe is going through, that humanity is going through.

What is being extracted today, people say, they're digging a hole here, but it's to avoid burning fossil fuel.

O aumento desbragado do desmatamento na Amazônia, invasão de terra indígena, como aconteceu no caso do Zianomami, por garimpeiros, que o pai dele já foi garimpeiro, adora garimpeiro, defende o garimpeiro.

We have the vocation for the energy transition, we can be the first state to replace diesel, we are putting biomethane on the grid, we have the vocation... of the economy, of knowledge.

I attended today the inauguration of CRVR's new landfill-biogas biomethane plant in São Leopoldo. A project that demonstrates in practice that it is possible to generate development, employment and income with environmental responsibility. Projects like this show that when the public sector establishes appropriate regulatory, environmental, and infrastructure conditions, the private sector has confidence and invests. And this is how the biomethane sector has been expanding in RS. In 2025 the first two biomethane plants in RS began operating, in Triunfo and Minas do Leão. Now, with the one in São Leopoldo, the state's production capacity increases by 36.4%. Energy transition is at the center of our development plan for the state, and these projects show that we are moving in the right direction.
