Platform Built in China Arrives in Rio Grande State for Operational Finalizations and Will Start Operating at the End of This Year

The FPSO P-75 has just arrived from a long journey from China, where it was constructed, to the bay of Rio Grande for the finalizations of the unit, commissioned by Petrobras. The platform will explore oil and natural gas in the Santos Basin, offshore São Paulo. With this, it will be the sixth time the state finalizes a platform, the previous ones being: P-53, P-55, P-58, P-63, and P-74.

But unlike all the other units, the P-75 will not dock at the shipyard simply because the dock at Rio Grande cannot support such a large platform; everything will have to be done offshore (this explains why some metalworking companies have been hiring offshore in recent weeks). Initially, this platform was to be completed at the QGI Shipyard, but due to contractual issues with Petrobras, the works were ultimately canceled because of disagreements. However, local influences and regional politics succeeded, and the final processes remained here.

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

Secret chamber sealed 4,500 years ago found in the Pyramid of Khufu, and Hawass announces its opening to the world in 2026

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

While communities suffer from water scarcity and the advancing desert, women in Morocco use nets high up in the mountains to trap fog droplets, fill reservoirs, and transport drinking water through more than 10 km of piping.

Macaúba has ceased to be a pest in the cerrado and has become a billion-dollar bet to supply planes and trucks, with Mubadala eyeing R$ 15 billion, vegetable oil, degraded lands, and sustainable fuel that still depends on future commercial-scale harvesting.
