Currently, EcoRodovias already has 24 solar plants in full operation, spread across seven of its concessions. With the addition of the new 21 plants, the group promises a show of clean and efficient energy.

BR-135, which connects Montes Claros to Curvelo in Minas Gerais, is already a shining example with its six plants and 948 photovoltaic panels from EcoRodovias. The other plants are strategically located in regions such as Goiás, Rio Grande do Sul, and São Paulo, ensuring energy for toll plazas, control centers, and much more.

The Solar Initiative of EcoRodovias Is Not Just to Show; It Is Part of an Ambitious Decarbonization Plan

The goal is clear: reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet up to 74% of the low-voltage energy consumption of the concessions with solar energy by 2030. The rest will come from renewable sources, with the purchase of clean energy certificates (I-RECs).

In addition to lighting up the roads, EcoRodovias is also igniting local job opportunities. The company prioritizes hiring businesses and professionals from the regions where the plants are installed. And it doesn’t stop there; EcoRodovias already offsets 100% of its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions through the purchase of carbon credits.

Motorola launched the Signature with a gold seal from DxOMark, tying with the iPhone 17 Pro in camera performance, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 that surpassed 3 million in benchmarks, and a zoom that impresses even at night.

Satellites reveal beneath the Sahara a giant river buried for thousands of kilometers: study shows that the largest hot desert on the planet was once traversed by a river system comparable to the largest on Earth.

The government requests the Federal Revenue Service for a new system to automate the income tax declaration, reducing errors, time, and bureaucracy for millions of Brazilians.

With 74% of companies facing difficulties in hiring, technicians and engineers in renewable energy are becoming scarce in Brazil and are essential to support the expansion of solar, wind, and green hydrogen projects.

Scientists have captured something never seen in space: newly born stars are creating gigantic rings of light a thousand times larger than the distance between the Earth and the Sun, and this changes everything we knew about stellar birth.
