In Speech At COP27, CNI President Robson Braga De Andrade Was Optimistic About Brazil’s Participation In The Paris Agreement, While Also Mentioning His Positive Expectations For The Low-Carbon Economy After National Investments In Green Hydrogen, Solar Energy, And Offshore Wind Farms.

After the outbreak of the war between Russia and Ukraine and the economic crisis left by the Covid-19 pandemic, Brazil had to readapt to maintain its energy and food availability, especially with the increase in commodities. And, according to the statement from the CNI president, Brazil has been showing promise when it comes to an energy matrix based on the low-carbon economy after investing in the production of green hydrogen, solar panels, and offshore wind farms for renewable energy. Thus, it has favorable conditions for increased productivity, but for this to be possible, it would be necessary to connect both the private and public sectors.

Brazil has been receiving various investments, mainly in solar energy. With an investment of over R$ 840 million, with part financed, one of the largest centers of energy from solar panels recently began operations in Piauí. A construction that caught global attention, also located in Piauí, is a center with over 2 million solar panels!

The support for the Paris Agreement has been happening for years, from previous governments to Bolsonaro. The goal is for the state to create strategies to make the low-carbon economy possible and viable by the year 2030.

Brazil Has 45% Of Its Energy Matrix Formed By Renewable Sources

Brazil is becoming a reference as it has at least 45% of its energy matrix relying on renewable sources through offshore wind energy production centers, solar energy, or green hydrogen. Furthermore, there is an incentive law so that homes can produce their own energy by not paying ICMS taxes until the year 2023 if they install solar panels.

In addition, the government is making new investments to strengthen the use of biofuels. Private companies are also conducting studies to replace diesel in logistics and transportation.

In an interview, Andrade from CNI praised RenovaBio, a program created to establish Brazil’s main goals for decarbonization, increasing the supply of sustainable energy throughout Brazil. The dialogue between the private and public sectors was widely debated at this year’s summit.

The United Nations and the Intergovernmental Panel show that the world needs urgent changes regarding habits that optimize the greenhouse effect that could partially contain global warming in the coming years.

Beyond Green Hydrogen And Offshore Wind Farms For Renewable Energy: The Maritime Sector Is Also Doing Its Part In The Energy Matrix

Ammonia is one of the chemical components that has been studied to reduce carbon dioxide emissions at sea with ship transport. It is a more sustainable fuel. However, it is still not used due to the risks of spillage and changes in the water’s pH, which can harm local fauna and flora.

However, Dux has developed research where it created a component capable of making ammonia non-toxic at sea, potentially a sustainable fuel option. More information can be found in an exclusive interview provided by the company to CPG.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

While common buildings in São Paulo or Berlin occupy the ground for years, in China a horizontal skyscraper the size of the Empire State Building was erected in record time, transforming the city and inspiring new urban solutions.

One of the most challenging bridges in the world is assembled in Malaysia with helicopters, prefabricated parts, and a single pillar to support the curved deck over the mountain.

While conventional religious buildings prioritize height and ornaments, a mosque in Istanbul occupies 1,300 square meters of land but remains almost invisible, gaining international recognition for its innovative design.

While historic squares in Europe preserve only ruins, in Seville a giant wooden structure with six 150-meter mushrooms creates a market, viewpoint, and panoramic walkways over archaeological remains.

It looks like an upside-down subway, but it’s actually a train that has been traveling 13 km suspended over rivers and streets in Germany for 125 years, transporting more than 80,000 passengers a day and attracting tourists from all over the world.
