The Brazilian government is participating in the Clean Energy Marine Hubs Initiative (CEM Hubs), an international partnership between energy communities, maritime and financial.

The CEM Hubs are a cross-sectoral public-private platform, led by a working group from the industry composed of CEOs and energy ministers, under the banner of the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM).

Coinciding with COP 28 of the United Nations Climate Change Conference, held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), from November 30 to December 12, 2023, the South American country joined the Clean Energy Marine Hubs Initiative, alongside Uruguay, Norway, and Panama, as well as founding partners, United Arab Emirates and Canada.

Brazil recently announced that it will host CEM15 next year, combining the ministerial meeting with the G20 presidency. According to the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira, the 15th Ministerial Meeting of the CEM and the 9th Mission Innovation Ministerial Meeting will be held in the Brazilian city of Foz do Iguaçu in September 2024, back-to-back with the G20 Energy Transition Ministerial Meeting (ETMM) and with the support of Itaipu Binacional, a binational entity equally owned by Brazil and Paraguay focused on clean and renewable energy.

The country also decided to become an official member of the Transforming Solar workstreams, led by Germany and IRENA, and the Industrial Deep Decarbonisation Initiative (IDDI), co-led by the United Kingdom and India. The CEM Hubs initiative falls under the CEM, which will formalize a work program in the first quarter of 2024, alongside the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) and the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH), with supporting organizations like the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Global Maritime Center for Decarbonization (GMCD), and other industry partners.

The CEM Centers workstreams will establish how energy centers will be financed, to reduce the risk of investments in infrastructure construction, how security will be addressed, and how these new centers can operate as a network instead of a series of bilateral trade routes for export and import,’ said Stuart Neil, Director of Strategy and Communications of the ICS.

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.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

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.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

While the United States and China compete over giant rockets and lunar bases, India made a “spaceplane” land on its own at over 320 km/h after being released by a helicopter at an altitude of 4.5 km; Pushpak shows that New Delhi also wants to enter the era of reusable space vehicles.

Japan and Mercosur may reach an agreement to lower the cost of cars and auto parts, with manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan coming into focus.

Volkswagen is preparing an SUV derived from the new Amarok to compete with the Toyota SW4 and Haval H9, utilize the Argentine Pacheco factory, and transform a pickup into a more profitable family of products.

Virginia engineers transform 100,000 tons of demolished concrete from the Hampton Roads bridge into artificial reefs in the Chesapeake Bay, turning the debris from a mega-construction project into marine shelter while the old structure was still being dismantled.

Brazil gets its first ultra-fast 480 kW charger for electric cars, serving up to four vehicles at the same time and promising a charge from 10% to 80% in about 15 minutes.
