Johnson & Johnson’s Solar Farm in SP Will Avoid Emitting 215 Tons of CO2 into the Atmosphere, Equivalent to Planting 600 New Trees Per Year

It was in São José dos Campos, in the interior of São Paulo, that the American company Johnson & Johnson installed its first solar power plant in South America. The photovoltaic farm with a capacity of 1 megawatt-peak (MWp) was built by EDP Smart, the largest Portuguese investor in Brazil, which will triple its resources in solar energy in the country.

“We are already seeing a positive impact with this project, which will allow for a much broader study in the area of sustainability,” says Gerardo Vargas, Vice President of Logistics and Customer Service for Johnson & Johnson in Latin America, in an exclusive interview with EXAME.

The solar farm was installed within the largest manufacturing park — in area — of Johnson & Johnson in the world, featuring 3,240 photovoltaic modules, in an area of 6,000 square meters — equivalent to a soccer field.

At SC Johnson’s factories in China, Indonesia, and India, solar projects help provide water heating for the company’s operations, including aerosol production and quality control processes.

Its manufacturing unit in Toluca, Mexico, uses solar-heated water to replace liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in the cafeteria and employee facilities. In Manaus, its solar power manufacturing plant produces 100% of the renewable electricity needed for local services to power the factory.

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 the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

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.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
