| Résumé : |
Automotive vehicles have been a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, fueling global climate change. Internal combustion engine vehicles, burning fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel, play a central role in emitting these harmful gases, directly contributing to global warming. One emerging solution to mitigate vehicle GHG emissions is the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). Powered by rechargeable batteries and electric motors, EVs produce zero exhaust emissions, significantly reducing local air pollution and GHG emissions. When transitioning to electric cars factors such as renewable energy sources for charging and infrastructural readiness are relevant to be discussed. Depending on a specific country's energy matrix, EVs may simply transfer pollution if electricity is predominantly generated from fossil fuels. Additionally, adequate charging facilities are needed, further complicating the transition. While European countries, especially Scandinavian nations, are ahead in adopting electric cars, not all countries are equally prepared for a complete transition. Factors such as natural resource availability, infrastructure investment, and incentive policies significantly impact EV adoption. In Brazil, challenges such as historical fossil fuel dependence and territorial extension represent significant barriers to a rapid transition. However, solutions such as the use of biofuels, like ethanol derived from sugarcane, offer promise. Biofuels present a renewable alternative to fossil fuels, aiding in GHG emission reduction and climate change mitigation. Brazil stands out globally as a leader in biofuel production, notably sugarcane ethanol, with the National Alcohol Program (Proálcool) serving as a milestone. Brazil's well-established biofuel infrastructure positions the country advantageously to tackle transportation sector emission challenges. |
