Aggreko Executive Stated That “The Energy Transition Needs Lithium to Happen Concretely”.

The Aggreko, a leader in energy solutions, attended Brazil Lithium Summit 2024, an event held in Belo Horizonte that brought together key players in the energy transition sector. The meeting served as a platform for strategic discussions on lithium development in Brazil.

Brazil has been gaining a prominent role in the transition of its energy matrix towards sustainable sources. In 2023, Brazil had a record 93% of clean energy generation. In this context, lithium mining emerges as a crucial activity to further boost these positive numbers. Currently, Brazil accounts for 2.3% of global lithium production, with expectations to reach up to 5% of the global total by 2026.

“This growth not only reinforces the country’s position in the international clean energy scenario but also stimulates local economic and technological development, favoring job creation and attracting investments in sustainable infrastructure. Furthermore, lithium exploration is vital to meet the growing demand for high-capacity batteries, essential for electric vehicles and energy storage systems, consolidating Brazil as a strategic player in the global value chain of the energy transition,” said Elizangela Santana, Business Development Manager for the Mining Segment at Aggreko.

Lithium Gains Attention as a Key Mineral for Achieving the Energy Transition

At the center of the discussion on the energy transition, lithium stands out as a key mineral for achieving this crucial change. According to Elizangela, “the energy transition needs lithium to happen”.

Her statement echoes the importance of lithium as an essential element in the production of high-capacity batteries, driving electric mobility and renewable energy storage systems. Without lithium, the viability of the energy transition to clean and sustainable sources becomes a challenging endeavor due to its intermittency.

Surpassing Iron and Gold? National Lithium Production Rises from 11th to 3rd Place in Terms of Revenue

Highlighting the exponential growth of the national lithium production, the executive emphasized Brazil’s rise from 11th to 3rd place in terms of revenue between 2021 and 2023, trailing only iron and gold. “This promising scenario situates Brazil in a strategic location for research, development, and innovation in the mineral sector.

The abundance of natural resources and investment in logistics infrastructure reinforce the national capacity to attract foreign investments and strengthen existing partnerships. This conducive environment drives the creation of new jobs, consolidates the local economy, and reinforces Brazil’s leadership in the global arena of sustainable technologies”, she concluded.

The Brazil Lithium Summit 2024 demonstrated that Brazil is ready to take a leadership role in the era of lithium and the energy transition. With the support of companies like Aggreko, the country is building a more sustainable and prosperous future for all.

Surpassing Iron and Gold? National Lithium Production Rises from 11th to 3rd Place in Terms of Revenue

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

How remains of a 17th-century ship found in Finland turned into dresses: wood from the Hahtiperä shipwreck, buried for over 300 years, was transformed into textile fiber by Ioncell technology.

World Cup paintings can result in fines and even legal action in some cities, but many people still ignore this rule before the tournament.

Fishermen find a rare 127 kg substance inside a whale in Yemen, sell the “whale vomit” for $1.5 million, and become millionaires with the find in the Gulf of Aden.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Rare earth mining in Minas becomes a legal case after suspicion of radioactivity above the limit and may change the course of licensing.

Illegal gold from the Amazon gains an appearance of legality with empty authorizations and moves a fortune that challenges federal oversight.

Giant trucks with no one in the cabin have already moved more than 8.6 billion tons of rock and ore around the world, equivalent to more than a thousand Great Pyramids, all without a single recorded injury.

The largest precious metals mine under construction in the world is situated on a layer of ore 25 times thicker than common mines in South Africa, and has just connected a third shaft that will quintuple the extraction of platinum, palladium, and gold.
