Good News for Minas Gerais – the oil company Shell registered the license for the photovoltaic plants – Aquarii I, II and III – in the municipality of Brasilândia de Minas. Together, the three projects will have a solar capacity of 150 MW. Amid the Collapse of Oil Costs, Shell Reduced $5 Billion in Investments and Suspended Stock Buybacks

The three plants are Shell’s first renewable energy project in Brazil.

Gabriela Oliveira, manager of New Energies at the company, confirmed in the second half of 2019 Shell’s interest in seeking free consumers for the development of photovoltaic energy projects in Brazil.

Investments

About three billion dollars will be invested annually in renewable energy projects by the oil company globally.

Despite wanting to expand investments starting next year, Shell plans to invest between $1 billion and $2 billion by 2030.

To remain competitive, the company committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, matching the commitment made by BP.

“Society’s expectations have rapidly changed in the debate over climate change. Shell now needs to go further in its own ambitions: that’s why we expect to achieve neutrality in the energy market by 2050 or sooner. Society and our consumers expect nothing less,” stated the CEO of the company, Ben van Beurden, in a statement.

Neoenergia Receives Boost for Construction of Wind Energy Complex in Brazil’s Northeast

Iberdrola, through its Brazilian subsidiary Neoenergia, received a boost in the development of its mega wind energy complex in Oitis, in Northeast Brazil.

The Oitis complex will be located between the states of Piauí and Bahia, and its full commissioning is scheduled for mid-2022. Composed of 12 parks, the new enterprise will have a total installed capacity of 566.5 MW, making it the largest onshore wind project of Neoenergia in Latin America and the second in the world.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Astronomers discover black hole wind traveling at 323 million km/h, a speed equivalent to 30% of the speed of light and considered a record.

China is no longer cheaper because of labor, but because it has entire cities built around a single product for 40 years, and this is something that Vietnam, India, and Mexico will never be able to replicate no matter how much they try.

China took 46 years to surround its largest desert with a 3,000-kilometer green belt, but the megaproject against sandstorms still faces drought, low tree survival, and advancing desertification in the Taklamakan.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.
