AES Brazil and Unipar Close Deal and Plan to Invest Over Half a Million Reais in a Wind Power Complex with 91 MW Capacity in the Northeast Region of the Country

AES Brazil and Unipar Carbocloro have signed a new contract for self-production of renewable energy in a project that will receive investments exceeding half a million reais in wind energy generation in the Northeast region, according to the two companies. The partnership aims to install a park with a capacity of 91 MW in the Cajuína wind power complex, which is being developed by AES Brazil in Rio Grande do Norte.

Unipar Plans to Build Chlorine Production Factories in the Northeast

This is the third joint venture focused on clean energy generation announced by the company since it started its plan for the sector a year and a half ago. Since then, it has announced two projects, one for wind energy in Bahia, with AES Brazil, and another for solar energy, with Atlas Renewable Energy in Minas Gerais.

The announcement occurred during the company’s plans to advance in constructing two factories for the production of soda and chlorine in Northeast Brazil. For AES Brazil, the new project represents an advancement in the hiring of the Cajuína complex, as well as competitive differentials of energy compared to other generators, said Rogerio Jorge, Vice President of Customer Relations at the company.

According to Jorge, the company’s level of uncertainty regarding the investment is very low, due to the availability of machines. Currently, customers prefer more due diligence, request local community management plans, and do not merely acquire sustainable energy. The executive further states that Unipar is already its partner and monitors how AES Brazil manages environmental licensing.

The company designed the robot as part of a multi-year innovation program, building it in collaboration with Calvary Robotics and other partners.

“Atlas will complement our skilled workforce, keeping them safe while doing the heavy lifting, placing and securing solar modules, while adding new high-tech jobs,” AES said in a press release. They also released a video; watch below:

In addition to this unprecedented solar robot, AES has also invested in Ecoppia’s solar robots to automate the cleaning of photovoltaic panels, in 5B, and its MAVERICK technology for plug and play solar farm installation, and in the world’s first solar storage and battery solutions coupled with DC, providing dispatchable power.

AES Brazil has been developing, in parallel, two wind energy complexes in the region. Cajuína, which has approximately 1.3 GW of installed capacity, with 473 MW of this already having contracts with large market consumers, such as Alcoa, Ferbasa, BRF, and Minasligas; and the Tucano project, situated in Bahia, which has 322 MW already contracted and an additional 260 MW available for sale. After the business announcement, the company updated its total investment estimates for the period 2021-2025 to approximately R$ 3.9 billion in a separate statement.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

While the world was paying more for fuel, the 100 largest oil companies on the planet raked in an extra $23 billion in just 30 days of blockage in the Strait of Hormuz.

National Geographic strikes the hammer: yes, Africa is slowly splitting apart, a new ocean may form, and science considers this one of the most important geological phenomena of our time.

Watch created at USP is used by astronauts of Artemis II and brings Brazilian technology into NASA’s largest mission.

US$ 3.5 billion, a port capable of receiving the largest ships in the world, and a direct route to Shanghai place Chancay at the center of a logistics revolution that could cut up to two weeks off trade between South America and Asia, repositioning Peru as a new strategic hub of the Pacific.

Without a course in aerospace engineering and without a dedicated laboratory, USP students launch a rocket with a hybrid engine and bring Project Jupiter to the forefront of aerospace technology.

With 5.6 trillion tons of natural hydrogen beneath the Earth, 26 times the known oil and more energy than all the natural gas in the world, the new gold rush is already mobilizing Bill Gates, Amazon, and Petrobras.

U.S. researchers publish the first national map of natural hydrogen, placing 30 states on the radar and changing what was known about clean energy in the American underground.

Solar-powered ice factory in the Amazon that eliminated a 5-hour trip to Manaus, prevents the loss of up to two-thirds of the fish, and now ensures income for more than 30 riverside families.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.
