Brazil’s energy paradox: oil, gas and the road to COP30

Next week, Brazil will host COP30. The country is one of the world’s top 10 oil producers and is the latest member of OPEC+. It is also a nation where more than 80% of electricity generation comes from renewable sources. This dual identity – a liberal energy market underpinned by vast hydrocarbon reserves and a growing clean power mix – defines Brazil’s complex energy strategy. Charlie Bush reports.
