Brazil: A Global Leader in Clean, Reliable and Scalable Energy

The world’s largest low-carbon energy powerhouse with unmatched supply security

Brazil offers one of the cleanest and most diversified energy matrices worldwide, combining a dominant renewable share with a high-performing oil and gas industry. In 2024, renewables accounted for 50% of the country’s total energy supply—the highest level in more than three decades—reinforcing Brazil’s competitive edge in sustainable and reliable energy.

In electricity generation, Brazil stands out even further: 88.2% of all power produced came from renewable sources, with wind and solar alone contributing nearly a quarter of the national mix. This solid foundation positions the country at the forefront of the global transition to clean and affordable energy.

Parallel to its renewable strengths, Brazil is also Latin America’s largest oil producer and a top 10 global energy supplier, driven by world-class offshore pre-salt reserves. With production averaging 4.32 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) in 2024, Brazil offers one of the most balanced energy profiles on the planet—combining low-carbon leadership with large-scale production capacity.
