All 26 Documented Cases
Incrustação e Corrosão em Equipamentos Geotérmicos
R$ 5-15 milhões per 30MW plant in accelerated depreciation and downtime (estimated 5-10% of US$ 460M equipment market cap impacted annually)[3]In geothermal power plants, scaling and corrosion from geothermal fluids cause equipment failures, requiring frequent maintenance or replacements, leading to cost overruns in an emerging Brazilian market.
Atraso em Autorização e Verificação de Direitos Minerários e Terras
Logic-based estimate: 6–18 months project delay = R$ 2–15 million in deferred revenue per project (assuming R$ 2–10M monthly operating costs and lost sales)Geothermal and mineral exploration requires ANM authorization of mining rights and clear land ownership. Manual review of historical deeds, dispute resolution, and ANM processing creates significant cash-flow delay.
Custo Brasil: Overhead de Conformidade Fiscal em Pagamentos de Royalties
R$ 80,000–200,000 per lease area per year (40 hours/month × 12 months × R$ 175–450/hour labor cost, including overhead)Mining and geothermal companies must file NF-e (electronic invoices) for mineral sales, reconcile with CFEM payments, report to SPED (digital bookkeeping), and align across 27 state ICMS regimes. Manual coordination multiplies labor cost.
Gargalo: Atraso na Aprovação de Áreas de Interesse Mineral e Leilões ANM
R$ 3–8 million per project per year (equipment mobilization cost, idle rig rental, deferred drilling season revenue)ANM approval of mineral areas is a critical-path bottleneck. Manual environmental and technical review, competing area claims, and sequential approval stages delay project launch.
