             abstract = "Until very recently climate protection and energy security have 
                         been viewed as largely contradictory or separate matters. This 
                         scenario has changed in response to the ever-increasing energy 
                         demand in developing economies such as Brazil, China and India. In 
                         order to ensure a stable climate in a global sustainable 
                         development, while providing means for the improvement in our 
                         standards of life, we must make responsible decisions about our 
                         energy sources while searching for solutions to reduce the 
                         dependence on the fossil fuels in our energy matrix. 
                         Industrialized countries are responsible for the greenhouse gases, 
                         such as carbon dioxide (CO2), that have built up in the atmosphere 
                         since the beginning of the industrial era. Nonetheless, a 
                         worldwide effort is now necessary to reverse or, at least, reduce 
                         their effects on climate and prevent future damage to the 
                         environment. Although no single solution can meet our society's 
                         future energy needs and, at the same time, reduce the buildup of 
                         CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, some practical 
                         measures are possible. For example, the gradual but permanent 
                         substitution of fossil energy by renewable energy sources for 
                         electricity generation, such as wind, solar, geothermal, and 
                         bioenergy. To achieve this goal we must increase confidence on 
                         renewable energy by reducing barriers to the adoption of renewable 
                         technologies, encouraging investors, venture capital firms, 
                         independent power producers, and government purchasers of energy. 
                         This report represents a long-term Brazilian cooperative effort 
                         between the Electric Power Research Center (CEPEL), the National 
                         Institute for Space Research (INPE), and University of Santa 
                         Catarina (UFSC) to demonstrate the long-term potential for the 
                         large scale use of solar and wind energies in Brazil. It is one of 
                         the outputs of Project SWERA (Solar and Wind Energy Resource 
                         Assessment) for Brazil, which started in 2001 as a pilot project 
                         managed by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), 
                         co-financed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and has 
                         expanded in 2006 into a full program. Its mission is to provide 
                         high quality information in suitable formats on renewable energy 
                         resources for countries and regions around the world, along with 
                         the tools needed to apply these data in ways that facilitate 
                         renewable energy policies and investments.",
