The advance of civilization is correlated with the transformation of energy to meet its most diverse demands. The Industrial Revolution demanded efforts of diverse areas of science and technology to produce an expansion of large-scale. Nevertheless, the use of fossil fuels is considered a breakthrough in human history. The attention must be given to the significant environmental impacts caused by this energy source, especially the emission of greenhouse gases. Brazil stands out as a country with high potential for generating clean energy, however many challenges still need to be overcome to ensure the use of clean and affordable energy sources. In this regard, we highlight the production of clean energy in the country both to supply the electrical matrix and as an alternative to fossil fuels. Finally, we will deal with the mitigation of environmental impacts caused by non-renewable energy sources and in the environmental assessment of renewable sources.
