Abstract

In the present work we briefly recall the contribution of the physicist Jos´e Walter Bautista Vidal, one year after his death. Our purpose is to show some of his institutional achievements for Brazilian Science and Technology, mainly those related to the Brazilian energetic matrix. Throughout the text, Bautista Vidal is presented as a militant for the use of renewable energy sources. Furthermore, is also pointed out some of his actions as a professor at University of Bahia, as Secretary of Bahia
State Science and Technology Office, as well as Secretary of Industrial Technology on the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Finally, we show that much of the ideas supported by him, for decades, are still updated.
