IAC Energy Workshop, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, March 2006

The Rio de Janeiro Workshop – hosted by the Brazilian Academy of Sciences - focused on the use of biomass and biofuels as sources of energy in Latin America, on the energy-related problems of large cities – such as transportation and air pollution (both in general and Latin America-specific), and on the quality of electrical power delivered to rural and urban areas. The Workshop was chaired by Study Panel Co-Chair José Goldemberg.
