Bioenergy is a type of renewable energy that is derived from plants and animal waste. [1] The biomass that is used as input materials consists of recently living (but now dead) organisms, mainly plants. [2] Thus, fossil fuels are not regarded as biomass under this definition.
And Latin America has the world’s highest electricity energy level, with 60% of its electricity coming from renewable sources. The region is rich in the minerals needed to make green technologies. Latin America needs Chinese technology to turn its abundant resources into electricity.
Renewable energy in developing countries is an increasingly used alternative to fossil fuel energy, as these countries scale up their energy supplies and address energy poverty. Renewable energy technology was once seen as unaffordable for developing countries. [ 201 ]

[21] [22] In 2021, Brazil was the 14th country in the world in terms of installed solar power (13 GW), [23] and the 11th largest producer of solar energy in the world (16.8 TWh). [17]
The European Union (EU) has a renewable energy target of 20% renewables target by 2020. [12] This is followed by a more ambitious target of 35% renewable energy by 2030. [13] NAFTA (US, Canada and Mexico) has a 50% renewable energy sources target by 2025 in North America. [14] Latin America pledged 70% renewable energy by 2030. [15]
