CNI launches intelligence platform to guide industry in the new green economy
The National Confederation of Industry (CNI)—through the Industry System’s Observatory Network and with financial support from the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq)—has launched the Brazil Green Economy Platform (PEV Brasil). This digital hub was designed to consolidate strategic information regarding the transition to a low-carbon economy. The initiative brings together 78 indicators and over 450 analytical variables, alongside studies, reference documents, public policies, government plans, decarbonization roadmaps, and scientific research. By organizing this body of information in a single environment, the platform aims to assist companies, researchers, and policymakers in understanding the regulatory, technological, and economic transformations that are beginning to redefine the competitiveness of Brazilian industry.
Data, regulation, and simulators align the ecological transition with business strategy
A key feature of PEV Brasil is its ability to transform the environmental agenda into a tool for economic and industrial intelligence. The platform tracks trends that impact costs, investments, supply chains, and market access—including the expansion of carbon pricing, requirements for measuring and reducing emissions, reverse logistics, and new environmental standards affecting foreign trade. Its content also aims to prepare companies for the Brazilian Emissions Trading System (SBCE) and international mechanisms such as the European CBAM. Additionally, simulators allow users to test technological pathways and industrial policies, estimating their potential impact on CO₂ emissions in carbon-intensive sectors such as iron, steel, aluminum, and cement.
Developed with the participation of observatories from FIEC and FIEP, as well as academic groups from UFPR and UTFPR, the initiative seeks to serve as a convergence point for Brazil’s ecological transition ecosystem, bridging the gap between science, industry, and public policy. The proposal gains relevance given the growing integration of this agenda into corporate planning: a CNI survey released in 2025 indicated that approximately 70% of Brazilian business leaders consider the bioeconomy important for the future of the industry, signaling that sustainability, innovation, and competitiveness are becoming increasingly interdependent dimensions of industrial strategy.
