Brazil and Japan Were the First to Sign a Memorandum of Understanding in This Regard Since the Approval of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement at COP26

On July 13, the Minister of the Environment, Joaquim Leite, received Japanese Ambassador Teiji Hayashi to celebrate a bilateral agreement between Brazil and Japan to promote the regulated carbon credit market.

The countries were the first to sign a memorandum of understanding in this regard since the approval of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement at the COP26, held in Glasgow (Scotland) in November 2021.

In addition to recognizing the carbon market as a fundamental tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the Ministries of the Environment of Brazil and Japan emphasize the importance of creating bilateral investment opportunities in green projects for solid waste treatment in order to generate clean energy and reduce methane emissions, thus helping the nations meet their announced goals during the last climate conference.

Boats with Batteries and Offshore Wind Turbines: Japan’s Largest Shipbuilding Company, Imabari, Will Build a Boat Capable of Transporting Energy from Offshore Plants to Shore

If offshore wind farms are much more efficient than onshore ones, why do we continue to put them in the “wrong” places? One of the obstacles that arise when installing wind turbines offshore is transporting energy via cables to the coast. But what if we could develop wind energy almost anywhere on the planet, regardless of its location? The Power ARK boats from a Japanese startup could play a key role in solving this challenge.

YouTube video — **The first model in the Power ARK series, “Power ARK 100,” is a 100TEU trimaran specially designed to transfer renewable energy in the coastal waters of Japan.**

PowerX is developing a vessel designed to transport the energy generated by offshore wind farms to the shore. The boat, measuring 100 meters in length, will operate on electricity and can travel a distance of 300 km. However, it will also have a backup biodiesel engine that, if necessary, will allow the initial range to be extended.

Unlike other vessels that have been designed to transport crude oil, gas, or coal, the Power ARK will have 100 batteries capable of providing a capacity of 220 MWh of energy generated by offshore plants. According to PowerX, this will be enough to cover the daily energy needs of 22,000 Japanese households with a single trip.
