Sustainable energy development through BRICS cooperation in technology and innovations

Sustainable energy development is increasingly crucial for BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) due to their growing economic and energy demands. This paper explores the collaborative efforts of these countries in developing sustainable energy technologies and innovations. Each BRICS nation brings unique strengths, such as Brazil’s biofuel advancements, China’s leadership in solar and wind energy, and India’s ambitious solar projects. The research investigates how these strengths can be leveraged collectively to address global energy challenges. Key findings highlight both the progress made through joint initiatives and the significant barriers, including economic disparities, policy misalignment, and geopolitical tensions. The paper concludes that, while BRICS has the potential to lead global sustainable energy transitions, overcoming these challenges is essential for realizing this goal and setting a global example.
