        Brazil’s RevoluSolar project

        RevoluSolar is a Brazilian non-profit organisation, founded in 2015, that helps improve livelihoods in low-income communities by providing solar energy. The group’s work is focused on the low-income communities of Babilônia and Chapéu Mangueira in Rio de Janeiro. People living in favelas have historically been marginalised from access to essential public services such as energy, though they represent one-quarter of Rio de Janeiro’s population. As such, the programme originated as a strategy to combine poverty eradication efforts in the favelas of the city with the promotion of solar energy as a more affordable, sustainable…

        Biomass gasification in rural areas in Brazil

        Brazil developed biomass gasification to expand electricity access in rural areas. Between 2002 and 2005, research institutions developed the GASEIFAMAZ pilot project, which consisted of testing two imported, small-scale biomass gasification plants in isolated communities in the Amazon region. The success of this initiative led to the deployment of the “Nationalization of the Gasification Technology and Formation of Human Resources in Amazon Region” (GASEIBRAS) project, which consisted of replicating the GASEIFAMAZ model and analysing the possibilities for its local manufacturing. Electricity generation from biomass gasification in isolated rural areas was enabled by technology transfer, and has more recently motivated…
