Brazil
In 2020-2021, in response to the COVID 19 pandemic, Brazil has committed at least USD 3.88 billion to supporting different energy types through new or amended policies, according to official government sources and other publicly available information. These public money commitments include:
- At least USD 581.96 million for unconditional fossil fuels through 14 policies (1 quantified and 13 unquantified)
- Some public money committed for conditional fossil fuels (1 policy with the value of public money unquantified)
- At least USD 923.47 million for unconditional clean energy through 13 policies (8 quantified and 5 unquantified)
- At least USD 18.43 million for conditional clean energy through 4 policies (1 quantified and 3 unquantified)
- At least USD 2.35 billion for other energy through 22 policies (7 quantified and 15 unquantified)
By energy type, Brazil committed at least USD 581.96 million to oil and gas (at least USD 581.96 million to unconditional oil and gas).
In addition, no public money commitments identified for coal.
Further, no public money commitments identified for hydrogen based on fossil fuels.
Finally, some public money committed for multiple fossil fuels (3 policies with the value of public money unquantified).
A considerably larger amount of public money committed to supporting the economy and people of Brazil through monetary and fiscal policies in response to the crisis may also benefit different elements of the energy sector. However, these values are not available from official legislation and statements and therefore are not included in the database. Meanwhile, in addition to monetary and fiscal measures, the database lists other policies and regulations that can also provide benefits to producers and consumers of different energy types.
These public money commitments are additional to many other government policies that had existed to support different energy types before the COVID19 pandemic.

The program aims to support the sector, incentivize the maintenance of jobs, and reduce the risk of fuel shortages during the period of economic recovery. | 17/06/2020 | 1500000000 | The national development bank BNDES established a credit program for working capital for the sugar and alcohol sector, including ethanol (with an allocation of R$ 1.5 billion (BRL) ( and joint action with commercial banks may increase the amount to more than R$ 3 billion (BRL). Biofuels have suffered from a decrease in consumption of over 30% during the COVID-19 crisis and also from a drop in the international price of oil - which has made ethanol less competitive. As an incentive to preserve jobs, supported companies will not be able to reduce their permanent staff for two months. In addition, those that maintain or increase jobs in the next 12 months will have lower rates. | https://web.archive.org/web/0/ https://www.bndes.gov.br/wps/portal/site/home/imprensa/noticias/conteudo/setor-sucroalcooleiro-tera-apoio-do-bndes-para-enfrentar-pandemia |
