Technical requirements: The objective of the project is ‘The prerequisites for a broadly effective use of energy-efficient propulsion systems in Brazil have been created’.
The project is based on federal level, but pilot projects shall be implemented in cities and states that still need to be selected.
Brazil published new climate indicators in September 2015 and announced to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 43 % till 2030 compared to 2005. In addition to the in-creased use of renewable energy, Brazil is striving for an energy efficiency improvement of 10 percent. The transport sector is responsible for more than half the consumption of fossil fuels and Brazilian energy-related GHG emissions. According to the Ministry of the Environ-ment (Ministério do Meio Ambiente, MMA), Brazil's direct carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have increased from about 60 000 000 tonnes (t) CO2 in 1980 to 213 000 000 t CO2 in 2012 (Germany 2014: 161 000 000 T CO2). Despite the strong use of ethanol and biodiesel in Brazil, 49 per cent of emissions are due to the combustion of diesel fuel and 33 per cent to the combustion of gasoline.
According to a forecast by the Brazilian Energy Planning Authority (Empresa de Pesquisa Energética, EPE), the fleet of passenger cars is expected to triple by 2050, of which 11.8 million (about 9 per cent) are purely electric vehicles. Guided by the global trend, Brazil is also increasingly focusing on energy-efficient propulsion systems (electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid systems), especially in local public transport and municipal transport, to meet its climate requirements. Investments in the construction of production capacities and the acqui-sition of electrically operated buses are supported by the development bank BNDES. How-ever, market and vehicle approvals for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles are hardly growing, since the prerequisites for the broad use of energy-efficient propulsion systems are missing (core problem).
The objective of the project is therefore: ‘The prerequisites for a broadly effective use of en-ergy-efficient propulsion systems have been created’.
The project is based on federal level, but pilot projects shall be implemented in cities and states that still need to be selected.
The DKTI project will work on the meso and micro level and is divided into three components: (1) the development of a strategy to promote energy efficient propulsion systems; (2) standardization and regulation, and (3) business models for energy-efficient propulsion sys-tems. The focus will be on plug-in hybrids and purely electric vehicles (technology approach) in public transport, as well as in private and public fleets (fields of application). Experiences from demonstration projects are part of the design of promotion and incentive mechanisms.
Cooperation with the private sector (e.g., vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, energy suppliers or fleet operators) is sought. The scope and content of the co-operations shall be determined during the duration of the project.
(1) declaration on the Commercial Register, if the applicant or the member of the consortium is registered;
