In an unprecedented initiative, Banco da Amazônia is finalizing a credit operation of US$ 100 million with the World Bank, intended to boost clean energy projects and the energy transition in the Legal Amazon. The central goal is to reduce electricity generation costs and expand access to renewable sources, especially in communities that still rely on fossil fuels, such as diesel.

The operation, which will have the guarantee of the Federative Republic of Brazil, represents an important step in the national strategy for decarbonization and sustainable development.

Financing Prioritizes Solar Energy, Biomass, and Small Hydropower Plants

The program, dubbed Acceleration of the Energy Transition in the Amazon, will finance a series of initiatives aimed at the generation of solar energy, small hydropower plants, biomass, and hybrid systems — models that combine renewable sources with battery storage and the complementary use of diesel.

Training and Inclusion in the Clean Energy Sector

Another highlight of the agreement is the social investment linked to the operation. Banco da Amazônia will receive US$ 2.75 million aimed at <strong strengthening its technical capacity and training qualified labor. The initiative seeks to empower youth, women, and minorities, promoting inclusion and increasing the participation of these groups in the clean energy sector.

The project also foresees the development of new green financial products, in addition to improving the mechanisms for monitoring sustainable projects. During the preparatory phase, the institution had already received US$ 500,000 in non-refundable resources from the World Bank for technical assistance in structuring the proposal.

Thus, the collaboration between Banco da Amazônia and the World Bank reinforces the strategic role of financial institutions in financing the energy transition in Brazil. The operation consolidates the commitment to regional sustainability, encouraging the use of clean technologies and strengthening local economies.

With the advancement of this project, the Legal Amazon positions itself as one of the main hubs for experimentation and implementation of clean energy in the country, combining development, innovation, and environmental responsibility.

Training and Inclusion in the Clean Energy Sector

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

New Hyundai i20 2027: with a 1.0 turbo engine of 115 hp, up to 14.8 km/l, and being one of the cheapest cars in Brazil, Hyundai launches a national crossover larger than the HB20 for R$ 99,990

Want to live without neighbors? For R$ 2.3 million, this private island of 35.6 hectares has only one house with solar power, rainwater, an eco-friendly bathroom, and access by electric boat — all in Scotland.

More powerful than the Jetta GLI and with more space than the Toyota Corolla: the new Chery Arrizo 8 emerges with up to 257 hp, 40.8 kgfm, 2.79 m wheelbase, quad exhaust, and a price equivalent to R$ 76,000 in China.

Divers record images of a Soviet pier sunk more than 30 years ago in Siberia; built in the 1960s with cedar logs, the structure still preserves metal chains and today houses aquatic species in a UNESCO reserve.

The end of the 144-year construction of the Sagrada Família: a 100-ton cross, assembled in 14 parts and raised to 172.5 meters, finally completes the tallest tower envisioned by Gaudí.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.

Taiwanese fishermen accepted offshore wind turbines in the name of clean energy, but now they say that old routes have disappeared, fish have decreased, and income has become uncertain on the coast.
