“…Moreover, these articles point out the major problems of the Brazilian economic model, leading to the shortcomings in the energy sector development. The other article (Atkins 2020) covers such an issue as the industrialization of the Amazon basin, partially through the overuse of hydropower, while (Karp et al 2021) examines the prospects of the ethanol diplomacy of Brazil, which is an extremely important instrument of the country external energy policy.…”

The issues of green energy and sustainable development are one of the most discussed and most important today in face of the global challenges, such as global warming, greenhouse emissions, degradation of the ecology etc. In this regard, green energy is obviously a necessary part of the energy policy of a country. Still, economic crises and instability have led to the necessity to form a sustainable economy; hence the crossing of the two mentioned policies leads to the necessity to figure out what sustainable green energy is. The issues of green energy are very important for the developing economies, which are highly limited in financial resources. The countries of Latin America are among the ones which face significant issues in this sphere. The article is devoted to the formulation of this concept and to the proof that sustainable energy development is individual for every country. The scope of the research is the Latin American region, within the years since 2000. The authors conducted a regression analysis of the GDPs of several countries, namely, Bra-zil, Argentina, Peru and Colombia and their green energy sectors, and formulated conclusions on sustainable energy sources in these countries. The key findings include the proof of sustainable green energy sources for every researched country and the strategies for the improvement of these countries' renewable energy sector performance. The novelty of the article encompasses the methodology used and the concept of sustainable renewable energy.

“…The state has a privileged location and economic importance recognized due mainly to its diversity of crops such as cotton, rice, sugarcane, beans, cassava, wheat, corn, and soybean, with a predominance of the latter two, as well as its great biodiversity. These grains can be a source of bioeconomy and biofuel for the region, promoting sustainable development [52,53].…”

Combining Value-Focused Thinking and PROMETHEE Techniques for Selecting a Portfolio of Distributed Energy Generation Projects in the Brazilian Electricity Sector

This article aims to propose a multi-criteria model to support decision-making from a portfolio in selecting technologies for Distributed Generation of Energy (DGE) projects based on the characteristics of the geographic space in Brazil. The decision model involves using multi-criteria to support the evaluation, prioritization, and selection of projects under a multistage decision-making process that fits into a strategic management cycle within the energy sector of Mato Grosso do Sul (Brazil). The over-classification techniques Preference Ranking Organization Technique for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE) II and V were applied under the Value-Focused Thinking (VFT) approach, reflecting the decision-maker or manager preferences among several conflicting criteria in the investment context of sustainable distributed energy generation projects. Based on real data, a numerical application is employed to view the steps of this decision model and illustrate the adequacy and effectiveness in practical issues of portfolio management.

“…Sugar and bioenergy are mainly produced using sugarcane (Karp et al, 2021;Menandro, 2016). Brazil is a world leader in sugarcane production due to its edaphoclimatic conditions and experience accumulated over the years (Cursi et al, 2022;De Oliveira Bordonal et al, 2018).…”

This study aimed to estimate the minimum and maximum monthly air temperatures in the sugarcane regions of Brazil. A 30-year historical series (1988-2018) of maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) air temperatures from the NASA/POWER platform was used for 62 locations that produce sugarcane in Brazil. Multiple linear regression was used for data modeling, in which the dependent variables were Tmin and Tmax and the independent variables were latitude, longitude, and altitude. The comparison between estimation models and the real data was performed using the statistical indices MAPE (accuracy) and adjusted coefficient of determination (R2adj) (precision). The lowest MAPE values of the models for estimating the minimum air temperature occurred mainly in the North during February, March, and January. Also, the most accurate models for estimating the maximum air temperature occurred in the Southeast region during January, February, and March. The MAPE and R2adj values showed accuracy and precision in the models for estimating both the maximum and minimum temperatures, indicating that the equations can be used to estimate temperatures in sugarcane areas. The Tmin estimation model for the Southeast region in July shows the best performance, with a MAPE value of 1.28 and an R2adj of 0.94. The Tmax model of the North region for September presents higher precision and accuracy, with values of 1.28 and 0.96, respectively.
