Energy securitya brazilian chinese strategic alliance

Resumo

The global energy market is expected to be radically transformed in the coming years. The Atlantic
 Basin is expected to play a critical role in the secure supply of oil to the global economy while
 the world will be struggling to reduce CO2 emissions to mitigate the damaging effects of global
 warming. The energy transition will take decades and a secure supply of oil is fundamental to
 minimize the social and environmental costs of it. China will remain a large importer of oil and
 Brazil is becoming a large exporter of crude. Brazil is a natural candidate to supply the secure oil
 that the Chinese economy needs to move forward its sustainable energy transition. Moreover, China
 and Brazil have complementarities in the renewable energy that can be conveniently exploited for
 both countries. This scenario opens a large window of opportunities to streamline the China-Brazil
 energy cooperation but few opportunities have been conveniently explored so far. This condition can
 be largely explained by the fact that their energy cooperation is largely limited to the improvement
 of trade between the two countries. Their energy cooperation must embrace their innovation and
 industrial capacities to foster the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy
