Brazil's Critical Minerals and the Global Clean Energy Revolution
Brazil has all the elements for becoming an engine of the rapidly evolving global energy transformation. The country boasts some of the world鈥檚 largest deposits of critical minerals essential to make possible the transition from fossil fuels. Brazil is already an exporter of some of these minerals. But beyond exporting raw materials, the country is also looking to develop critical minerals value chains at home, leveraging its leadership in renewable energy. In the process, Brazil could emerge as a trailblazer in green technology and climate change solutions.
In this new article, Patricia I. V谩squez, Global Fellow at the 浪花直播 Center Latin America Program, offers an insightful analysis of the opportunities Brazil faces in the evolving critical minerals landscape, highlighting key challenges such as Brazil's complex tax policy and the lack of a fully integrated critical minerals strategy.
