The oil crisis and the path of no return for renewable sources

The recent turmoil in the oil trade is ephemeral and tends to be assimilated by society and the market, like other previous crises. This is the opinion of professor and coordinator of the Center for Petroleum Studies at Unicamp (Cepetro), Saul Suslick, for whom the news about the imminent depletion of fossil fuel reserves is alarmist and unfounded. “Before this happens, society will promote the transition to other sources”, he diagnoses. For the coordinator of the Interdisciplinary Center for Energy Planning at Unicamp (Nipe), professor Ennio Peres da Silva, the participation of oil in the energy context will be increasingly smaller. According to the expert, the increase in renewable energy sources is a path of no return. Pages 6, 7 e 8
