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. Macaé will be the main beneficiary of the transfer of 10 Petrobras contracts to Trident

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.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

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.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

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.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

End of heavy manual drilling: three robots take over more than 9,000 holes in the Engelberg tunnel in Germany, working at a height of 7.5 meters and increasing precision in construction carried out with traffic in operation.

The most abundant mineral on Earth makes up about 38% of the planet’s volume and dominates the mantle hundreds of kilometers deep, but it is so inaccessible that humanity only managed to touch it thanks to a meteorite that fell in Australia in 1879.

From ghost buildings to new homes: government allocates six federal properties for affordable housing in four states and plans over 900 units for low-income families, utilizing abandoned structures in areas with existing urban infrastructure.

With unprecedented technology brought from China, Bahia will build a 12.4 km bridge over the Baía de Todos-os-Santos, which will be the largest over the sea in Latin America, connecting Salvador to Itaparica and shortening trips by up to 250 km after decades of waiting.

Havan statue travels over 500 km from Santa Catarina to Rio Grande do Sul to crown a megastore worth R$ 90 million, with 10,000 m² and 200 jobs before the inauguration in Garibaldi
