Abstract

This chapter examines the interplay between energy security and green energy in the context of Brazil. Based on documents obtained from the Brazilian National Archive, the President of the Republic Archive and the Federal Senate Archive, the chapter traces the way that energy security is construed and given meaning and significance through the articulation and production of many texts, with emphasis on the role the discursive frames surrounding energy security play in constructing or deconstructing green energy initiatives over a period of fifteen years (January 2001–December 2015). It demonstrates that energy security is discursively framed differently in different green energy law and policies within different energy sectors. In particular, this chapter reveals that Brazil is moving in the opposite direction to a low-carbon energy transition.
