MADRID, 22 (EUROPA PRESS)
Brazil's Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira, met with representatives of the Chinese company Contemporary Amperex Technology Limited (CATL) to promote domestic battery production, strengthen electric mobility, and consolidate Brazil's position as a world leader in renewable energy and storage.
During the meeting, Silveira emphasized that international cooperation is essential to consolidating Brazil's leadership in the renewable energy agenda.
"The partnership with CATL symbolizes the international private sector's confidence in Brazil's energy potential. We want to transform our leadership in clean energy into jobs, income, and innovation for Brazilians," he stated.
CATL is currently the world's largest manufacturer and supplier of battery solutions for electric vehicles and various energy storage systems. With a 39% share of the global electric vehicle battery market and a 37% share of the storage segment, the company is considered by the industry to be a major contributor to the energy transition in Brazil and globally.
"President Lula's government has an unwavering commitment to a fair, inclusive, and sustainable energy transition. Our effort is to ensure that Brazil continues to lead the world in renewable energy, attracting cutting-edge investment and creating jobs, but always with the environmental responsibility that characterizes our history," the minister added.
