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

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.

A 2,500-year-old Saka warrior is found holding a bronze sword in an intact preserved grave in Kazakhstan, with a richly decorated 30 cm weapon, 5 arrows, gold, and unprecedented details from the Iron Age.

Under kilometers of water, rock, and salt, Brazil hides a colossal wealth that led an official guide from the U.S. government to recognize the country as the owner of the largest ultra-deep oil reserves in the world.

They dance and launch men up to 40 meters high to ask for rain: created about 2,500 years ago, the Dance of the Flyers in Mexico endures to this day and represents a plea for rain and good harvests.

A drone that flies, dives to 40 meters, resurfaces next to the target, and attacks in swarms transforms Belgium into a pioneer of a hybrid weapon that crosses sky and ocean undetected.

With breathtaking views, a pilot embarks on a journey aboard a Cessna Caravan, facing extreme altitude and operational challenges while flying over Afghanistan for the first time.

Scientists have found the most sought-after ingredient for batteries hidden inside a mineral that everyone thought was useless — and the discovery could eliminate the need to open new lithium mines…

At a depth of 4 kilometers, with 90-minute descents and heat exceeding 60 °C, an operation only continues to function thanks to the pumping of liquid ice: how far can the endurance of workers in the deepest mine on the planet go?

It looks like Australia, but it’s Pará: the Amazonian city that became one of Brazil’s largest copper hubs and entered the global route of critical minerals for the energy transition.

While the USA goes to the Moon in search of energy, China silently explores an abundant stone on Earth capable of generating energy for the next 60,000 years.

An excavation the size of an entire city has opened a hole of 44 km² in Germany, descending nearly 300 meters below sea level and creating an “artificial scar” so colossal that it can be seen from space while continuing to advance over everything around it.
