In agribusiness, one of the pillars of global food production, distributed generation (DG) is increasingly present to increase sustainability and energy independence. DG mainly refers to renewable sources, such as solar photovoltaic (PV) energy and biomass. For farms and agricultural companies, this change offers several benefits.
By generating its own energy, agribusiness reduces dependence on unstable grids and lowers operating costs. PV solar energy, for example, can power irrigation systems, refrigeration units and processing equipment, while biomass from crops or animal waste can also be converted into energy. On the other hand, a synergistic effect is the shade cast by solar modules, which protects the soil from drying out, reducing the need for irrigation.
In addition, DG addresses environmental goals by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting the use of cleaner energy. It also strengthens rural economies by creating jobs and promoting technological innovation.
Energy Storage: Unlocking the Future of Southern Brazil’s Energy Transition
As Brazil’s energy matrix rapidly shifts towards renewables, energy storage plays a crucial role in ensuring stability, flexibility, and long-term sustainability. The South Region, with its strong solar and wind generation capacity, is primed for storage integration, smart grid development, and investment opportunities. At this event, industry leaders, technology providers, policymakers, and investors will come together to explore the latest trends, regulatory advances, and real-world applications driving the energy transition forward.
The program for Intersolar Summit Brasil Sul 2025 will be available soon.
