ABOUT RCGI

Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Innovation

The Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Innovation (RCGI), affiliated with the prestigious University of São Paulo, is at the forefront of Brazil’s endeavour against climate change. Our mission is both urgent and pivotal: to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the nation, thereby making a crucial contribution toward achieving Brazil’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) to global climate action.

Brazil’s Potential for Global Leadership

Brazil has the capacity to become a leading nation in decarbonisation and a powerhouse in sustainability. Our approach capitalises on Brazil’s strengths in bioenergy, agriculture, and environmental sciences, enabling us to develop solutions that have both local relevance and global impact.

Innovative Research

We conduct cutting-edge research aimed at pushing the boundaries of what is possible in greenhouse gas mitigation.

Solution Development

Beyond research, we actively convert our findings into actionable solutions, from technological innovations to policy recommendations and public perception and engagement.

Knowledge Dissemination

Change is driven by awareness, and we are committed to sharing our knowledge and findings with both the scientific community and the broader public.

A Comprehensive Approach

By harmonising these pillars, RCGI offers a well-rounded strategy to address climate change, always with the aim of sustainable and transformative impact. Our commitment extends beyond academic papers and patents; we focus on real-world applications and collaborations that accelerate climate action, both in Brazil and globally.

Join us on this crucial journey toward a more sustainable future.

The RCGI is grateful for the generous support of the founder sponsors: FAPESP and Shell.
