HOW TO POWER THE WORLD

A dream: an entire planet powered by renewable energy sources.

You might say it sounds quite idealist dream considering the current and timid 10% share of renewables in the global primary energy mix. However, the abundant source of renewables and the technological development says otherwise - and I stand for it.

The ongoing environmental disruptions due to climate change are reshaping the world and requiring rapid changes as a way towards a resilient energy future. We can no longer afford economic growth overlooking the impacts on the environment we live in.

WHO AM I?

I am engineer and project manager (PMP®), MBAs in Management and Business Law and MSc focused on renewables' deployment. I have 11-years’ experience in the infrastructure field, and have found an enormous passion for energy matters (it is what moves everything, isn't it?) while travelling around the globe. Currently, I work with and research about Solar Energy.

I am a renewable energy enthusiastic, and as a science and education-driven person myself I truly believe in the power of education to increase public awareness of global issues such as carbon emissions and their related environmental impacts.

I am interested in energy conversion as a whole: from electricity to farming (yes, what we eat is also stored energy!). Aside from solar and wind energy, I am also interested in land-use and energy efficiency in food systems, solar fuels and hydrogen as long-term means of energy storage, energy policies and regulatory frameworks to enhance energy transition and life cycle assessments as a powerful decision-making tool for an energy transformation.

Technology is developing fast. Thus, policies should keep the pace to pave the way for a fast phase-out of fossil fuels.

WHAT IS MORE?

To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key.

As a travel lover and keen on discovering new cultures, I have been to more than 80 countries (and counting!) and lived in four continents: South America, Africa, Oceania and Europe. Those were invaluable experiences. As well said by Mark Twain, "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness". Indeed!

Besides being interested in literature, history and politics - particularly related to energy policies, I am also sommelière professional. So I do appreciate wine very much. By the way, I used to write on In Vino Veritas about my tasting experience (written in Portuguese).

I am a Brazilian, a citizen of the world, and currently based in Berlin.
