Article: Ecological-Economic Zoning and Optimal Land Use Design of Hydrographic Basins Territories
Paulo Pereira
Martins Junior; This report is a sequence of Agrarian and Ecological Geosciences that involves the Interdisciplinary Approach with strong association with Geo-ecology and Economy as the two main epistemological and methodological fields. New cartographic concepts concerning methodology and modeling of territorial use are presented. Text for Discussion: Planning of the Brazilian Electricity Sector and the World Context of Climate Change Nivalde José de Castro and Guilherme de A. Dantas The energy sector has a small share in the total Brazilian emissions due to the relevant share of renewable sources in the energy matrix. Brazil has a huge potential of alternative and renewable sources of electric energy to be explored. Bioelectricity from sugarcane products and wind energy should be emphasized since they could produce energy having a zero carbon footprint at prices that are considerably more competitive that those necessary to make viable renewable energy sources in other countries. The central question is how to guarantee the insertion of these sources in the Brazilian matrix in detriment of fossil fuel thermal plants. The argument of the authors is that each one of the components of the matrix should have goals and that for each one of them a specific auction should be made so that the contracting and structure of the matrix defined by planning as the ideal one for the Brazilian electrical sector should be viable.
