Résumé
The rapid demographic growth Brazil has experienced since the installation of the First Republic (1889) was mediated by the large size of its territory and the abundance of natural resources. Industrialization was perceived by part of the Brazilian elite as a necessary step to promote economic development, but the country started very slowly to consider the exploitation of its own energetic sources as relevant to achieve the social gains that would be compatible with the desired material progress. The panorama afforded by this article will present some highlights of this process, as it unfolded in the main components of the energetic mix, i.e. fossil fuels, biofuels, nuclear energy, and electricity.
