In partnership with Itaú Unibanco, CINE began this year a series of workshops dedicated to disseminating knowledge about the energy transition. By combining CINE’s scientific and technological expertise and Itaú’s commitment to sustainability, this collaboration is promoting a rich exchange of ideas on high-impact topics such as urban mobility, renewable energy generation and storage, new low-carbon fuels, and artificial intelligence. Four workshops have already been held in February, May, and July of this year in the city of São Paulo, in either an in-person or hybrid format, with the presence of teams from Itaú, CINE, and companies and associations directly involved in the energy transition. The first event addressed existing technologies and possible solutions to carry out the energy transition in Brazil in the best possible way, in terms of social, environmental, and financial sustainability. The second was a discussion panel on regulatory aspects of wind and solar photovoltaic energy and their impacts on the Brazilian market. The third workshop consisted of presentations by experts and group discussions on energy efficiency and transition. Finally, low-carbon hydrogen, from production to regulatory aspects, was the subject of the fourth workshop.

In April, the academic-industrial consortium InSilicoNet established a partnership with CINE to develop technologies for the energy transition. The partnership brings together InSilicoNet’s expertise in solutions based on digital tools and CINE’s scientific expertise in materials and devices for a low-carbon economy. Through this agreement, teams from both organizations can work together to generate innovations that accelerate the transition to a more sustainable world, including aspects such as technical-economic and life cycle assessments of new technologies.
