Figure3: Brazil Electricity Generation Scenario Differences, 2025-2050

2025 to 2050 projections of absolute differences in Brazil's annual electricity generation by technology (GWh). The data compares a Renewables Dominated scenario and a Thermal CCS scenario against a Reference scenario. The dataset was authored by Marina de Abreu Azevedo and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare the scale of technology deployment between decarbonization scenarios based on annual GWh differences.
• Analyze the relative contribution of renewables versus carbon capture-equipped thermal generation based on scenario projections.
• Benchmark modeled energy transition pathways against a published reference scenario for Brazil.
• Assess the magnitude of change required in Brazil's electricity mix to meet specific climate targets.

Strengths

• Scenario-based projections cover a 25-year period from 2025 to 2050.
• Data is disaggregated by electricity generation technology.
• File size is 11.2 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
