Abstract

This research focuses on drawing a comparison between how the UK and Brazil have managed their energy mixes since the oil crisis of the 1970s to the present time. The analysis is based on four variables: diversification, power, sustainability and efficiency. The main hypothesis assumes that the evolution of energy mixes is more related to the available natural resources and the physical features of both countries than to political decisions. Technically, we used official data organized into graphs and charts for the decades of 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2017. The preliminary results showed that in both countries, all the variables changed positively, but the efficiency has been higher in the UK since the British GDP increases with the increasingly drop in energy production. Therefore, these preliminary results showed that the hypothesis better explained the Brazilian context than the British context.

英国和巴西混合能源发展的比较分析

摘要

这项研究的重点是比较自1970年代石油危机以来到现在的英国和巴西如何管理其能源结构。该分析基于四个变量：多元化，权力，可持续性和效率。主要假设假设能源混合的演变与两国的可用自然资源和自然特征更多地相关，而不是与政治决定相关。从技术上讲，我们使用了1970、1980、1990、2000、2010和2017年几十年的官方数据，这些数据被组织成图形和图表。初步结果表明，在这两个国家中，所有变量均发生了正向变化，但在英国以来，英国的GDP随着能源生产的下降而增加。所以，
