The main purpose of this report is to track the Brazilian energy efficiency advances through an indicators analysis. In 2014 the first Energy Efficiency Indicators Report was published, with data up until 2012. Since then, this report is being updated, and in 2020 it started to be called as "Atlas of Energy Efficiency Brazil – Indicators Report". This document complements and updates, in a synthetic way, the first reports, with data up until 2023.
This report features a special chapter which provides a detailed analysis of the ferroalloys and silicon metal sector in Brazil, the result of a collaboration between EPE and the Brazilian Association of Ferroalloy and Silicon Metal Producers (ABRAFE). It presents a nationwide overview of this sector, with a particular focus on energy consumption for the industrial production of ferroalloys in Brazil.
