Energy transition and sustainability
According to the minister, these investments in sustainable technologies directly reflect the efforts of the government of the President of the Republic Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) in promoting the energy transition.
Still according to him, the investment in new energy sources that has been promoted by the Brazilian government is essential for the objectives sought by Brazil in international agreements signed by the country, which has committed to collaborating with the mitigation of the effects of global climate change.
“With these projects, the Brazilian government reinforces its commitment to sustainability and economic development, preparing the country for a greener and more innovative future,” he said.
Technical visit to Foz do Iguaçu airport
Before the launch, Minister Costa Filho carried out a technical visit to Foz do Iguaçu airport. On the occasion, he was accompanied by the National Secretary of Aviation, Tomé Franca, and the president of Infraero, Rogério Barzellay.
Today, the site is undergoing construction. These include adjustments in the areas of runway safety, renovation and expansion of the passenger terminal, and construction of cargo terminals.
According to information from the “G1” portal, the airport concessionaire, CCR, is investing R$270 million in improvements for passengers.
According to the concessionaire, these interventions not only provide more comfort and convenience to tourists, but also have a significant impact on the local economy, generating approximately 250 direct jobs during the construction phase.
