According to International Agency, Brazil Ranked 16th After Closing 2019 with R$ 24.1 Billion in Private Investments

Brazil has joined the exclusive global group of the top 20 in photovoltaic solar energy. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Brazil is the 16th country in installed capacity in operation worldwide.

The achievement was celebrated by the Brazilian Solar Photovoltaic Energy Association (ABSOLAR). The survey takes into account the sum of large centralized plants and small distributed systems in homes, businesses, industries, rural properties, and the public sector.

Investments in the Solar Energy Sector

ABSOLAR reported R$ 10.7 billion in accumulated private investments in photovoltaic solar energy in 2019.

The sector also takes pride in having created over 134,000 jobs accumulated since 2012, with more than 63,000 jobs in just 2019.

China, followed by Japan, the United States, and Germany are the leading countries in the ranking according to the global entity.

To put Brazil’s achievement into perspective, in 2017, the country was in 27th position. In 2018, it jumped to 21st, and now it has reached 16th place.

If we consider the other main renewable sources (hydropower, wind, and biomass), Brazil is already among the top 10 in the world.

According to Ronaldo Koloszuk, president of ABSOLAR’s Board of Directors, Brazil should celebrate this achievement and reminds us that in solar energy, the country has yet to reach the TOP 10 in the world, but has every capability to get there and emphasizes the ocean of opportunities for those who want to work and invest in this market.

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.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

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.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

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.

At 625 meters above the ground and with a span of 1,420 meters between mountains, China inaugurated the highest bridge in the world — and the 2-hour journey now takes 2 minutes.

A neighboring country of Brazil starts to profit billions from oil after the war in Iran, sees its economy grow at an unusual pace, and enters a silent dilemma that few countries can resolve without a crisis.

War in Iran complicates the situation, the government is considering holding back gasoline prices, and the new minister says that if necessary, the country may even go into more debt to protect families.

What looks like a giant cat sleeping at Hong Kong airport is actually 8 meters long, responds to visitors, and has become an unexpected attraction among passengers arriving without imagining what they will find.

Made from common salt and 50% cheaper than lithium, the new Chinese battery promises a range of 500 km and could revolutionize electric cars starting in 2026.

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.
