This is a cross-heading on a report on countries' renewable energy rankings in 2021. That Norway comes top will surprise nobody and few will question New Zealand's position. But Brazil, that destroyer of the Amazon carbon sink? The answer is that
With the second highest supply of renewable energy, Brazil is the leader in biofuel and waste energy. These sources account for 32 per cent of its total energy supply. It is the second-largest producer of ethanol fuel and is an industry leader, with sugarcane-based ethanol being touted as the most successful alternative fuel to date.It just goes to show that no nation is wholly bad. In the same league table, the UK ranks 20th with clean energy only accounting for a dismal 13 per cent. However, we are not as dependent on fossil fuels as Singapore (98%), Australia (93%) or South Africa (91%).
