Brazil Is Focusing on the Offshore Wind Energy Market to Revive the Economy and Industries. Moreover, This Source Will Provide a Significant Boost for the Energy Transition.

Brazil has a positive energy outlook, especially when it comes to a huge opportunity to revive the economy and industry through renewable resources and energy transition. This is the vision of the Brazilian Wind Energy Association (ABEEólica).

Elbia Gannoum, president of the organization, participated last Thursday (11/17) in the panel Offshore Wind: Trends and Opportunities, on the last day of programming at the Brazil Pavilion at the 27th United Nations Climate Conference, taking place in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.

Brazil Has 170 GW of Offshore Wind Energy Projects

For the president, offshore wind energy, generated at sea, will be the main way for Brazil to strengthen its position in the energy transition and emphasizes that the organization is planning to create an industrial structure to place Brazil on the energy transition path, attract technology, capital, innovation, and generate jobs and income.

Federal Government Focuses on Energy Transition

In January of this year, the Federal Government issued a decree regulating the granting of utilization of natural resources and physical spaces in sea waters under the Union’s jurisdiction for electricity generation.

The decree defines how the procedures should be conducted, where requests for granting can be submitted, and what steps the entrepreneur must follow to achieve the project. In October, the Ministries of Environment (MMA) and Mines and Energy (MME) published a decree creating the Single Portal for the Management of Offshore Areas for Energy Generation.

All services for requests and monitoring of authorization to produce offshore energy will be handled through the platform. Diogo Nóbrega, an executive at COP, a company specialized in offshore wind projects, was also present at the panel and highlighted the importance of regulation for providing legal security to investors.

Brazil Can Generate Up to 700 GW of Offshore Wind Energy

Nóbrega emphasizes that this type of project requires significant investment, as well as government incentives for development.

Nóbrega recalls his experience in Denmark, which developed the world’s first offshore wind energy project in the 1990s. In England, offshore wind energy no longer receives government subsidies and the cost is lower than generation in onshore parks.

According to Ibama, the expectation is that 700 GW of energy will be generated if all of Brazil’s wind potential is explored, corresponding to ten times more than what is produced by all energy projects currently installed in the country.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Engine without traditional cylinder head could change the future of hybrids: Aramco creates DHE technology that simplifies mechanics, promises to reduce consumption by up to 25%, and challenges decades of evolution in combustion engines.

Son finds father’s forgotten notebooks and helps scientists solve the mystery of a 55-million-year-old marine fossil that remained unanswered for almost three decades.

While other coffees escape the American tariff hike, Brazilian instant coffee is excluded, raising an alert in the sector and may become up to 37.5% more expensive in the United States.

Central Bank changes rule that lasted decades and allows dollar and euro accounts in Brazil for exporters and companies with foreign capital, eliminating the need for currency exchange in some transfers starting in October 2026.

The “Chinese invasion” has arrived: BYD already dominates almost 45% of the electric buses registered in Brazil in May 2026, while 80% of the entire electric fleet in the country is concentrated in São Paulo with 1,300 vehicles.

From toy to track machine: Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear made with over 327,000 Lego pieces reaches 111 km/h and surpasses the former Bugatti Chiron record.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

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.
