Article: Legal Aspects of Implementing Transmission Lines: Requirement of the Rural Environmental Registry and Agreements with Landowners

Book Description:

This publication addresses various aspects of energy generation, production, and distribution in favor of sustainability, considering the positive and negative impacts of different alternatives. The articles discuss the challenges of transitioning the energy matrix to renewable alternative sources, taking into account the advancements being made and the potential ambiguities, explaining how these changes represent a new paradigm of human rights. Are all renewable energy sources truly clean? While hydroelectric sources are considered clean based on Carbon emissions, this collection highlights the impacts and risks of hydroelectric plants and contrasts the regulatory and commercial viability aspects of small hydroelectric plants (PCHs). Finally, it emphasizes that even the burning of fossil fuels in thermal power plants holds industrial heritage value in the history of energy generation in Brazil.
