An Ambitious Project Funded by the World Bank Investigates How Water Can Be the Key to Establishing Ceará as a Global Leader in Clean Energy.

RINA, an Italian consulting firm, has been selected to lead a crucial water assessment study at the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex (CIPP). The aim is to ensure industrial water supply, an essential resource for green hydrogen production, strengthening the position of the Pecém Port as a low-carbon development center in Brazil.

Where Will the Water Come From? Study Evaluates Wastewater Reuse and Desalination

The study, funded by the World Bank, will be conducted by RINA in collaboration with the Brazilian company Krypton. The initiative focuses on ensuring water sustainability for the growing green hydrogen industry at the Pecém Port.

Two main water capture strategies will be explored. The first is the reuse of treated wastewater from sewage treatment plants located in the western region of Fortaleza. The second alternative under analysis is seawater desalination.

Both options will undergo a rigorous assessment of their technical and economic feasibility. Additionally, the study will analyze the environmental impact of each solution and its compatibility with existing infrastructure and Brazilian regulation.

The project will also provide a detailed analysis of the environmental impact related to water demand at the CIPP for the next 5 to 10 years. This projection aligns with the expected industrial growth in the region. A regulatory and infrastructure assessment will also be conducted to ensure compliance with national standards and the efficient use of water systems.

The Project That Defines the Energy Future of Pecém

An important aspect of the study is the evaluation of how the proposed infrastructure could benefit neighboring communities by improving access to water.

Andrea Pestarino, Director of RINA, emphasized the company’s commitment. “This contract with the World Bank reinforces our long-term commitment to the region and the future of clean energy in Brazil,” he stated.

The Pecém Port continues to attract significant investments in the clean energy sector. Recently, the Norwegian company Fuella signed an agreement to develop a large-scale green ammonia project. Additionally, the port selected Stolthaven Terminals, in partnership with Global Energy Storage (GES), to develop a new green ammonia terminal.

The Project That Defines the Energy Future of Pecém

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

New microwave that can replace three appliances hits the market: Sharp launches 3-in-1 model that combines air fryer, convection oven, and heating in 0.9 cubic feet for small kitchens

BRAM Offshore is hiring for officer, technician, analyst, and manager positions in RJ and Aracaju, offering benefits, CLT employment, a hybrid work model, and the opportunity to work for a company with over 70 specialized vessels in the Brazilian offshore oil and gas maritime sector.

Swiss-led researchers warn that tourism on melting glaciers may be destroying exactly the landscapes that visitors want to see before they disappear, and that geotextile covers and helicopter flights only exacerbate the problem instead of solving it.

Dry cleaning is leaving behind the old chemical smell and showing that clean clothes can also use much less water.

A 33-year-old Paranaense practically built a two-story, 200-square-meter house by himself, without ever having had experience in civil construction, engineering, or architecture.

While heat evaporates water from reservoirs and countries seek new areas for clean energy, Morocco is testing floating solar panels that function as an energy lid and also generate electricity.

China occupies the desert with a 2 GW solar power plant in Inner Mongolia, installs elevated panels that create shade and humidity over the sand, and transforms a 2.96 billion kWh per year farm into an unexpected weapon against desertification.

Saudi Arabia is building in Oxagon a US$ 8.4 billion mega green hydrogen plant with 4 GW of solar and wind energy, 5.6 million solar panels, and capacity to produce 600 tons per day, transforming the desert into one of the planet’s largest clean fuel factories.

Germany and Denmark will transform Bornholm into a Baltic power island, connecting 3 GW of offshore wind power to the grids of the two countries via submarine cables and turning a real island into an international energy hub.
