Most Wind, Solar, And Biomass Power Plants Will Be Built In The Northeast Region, Adding Nearly 6,000 MW To The Power Sector.

Clean energy plants have a minimal impact on the environment, as they are generated from any category of renewable energy. Among the most popular, with no pollutant emissions and minimal environmental damage, are solar power plants, wind energy, and biomass. Investment in these clean energy plants has been promising; in 2021 alone, the sector set a record, reaching US$ 13 billion in investments.

Investment In Clean Energy Plants In Brazil

In the next four years, Brazil will receive large clean energy plants, contributing to the country’s environmental scenario. According to a survey conducted by the Electricity Trading Chamber, 250 large solar power, wind, and biomass plants will start operating by January 2026 in Brazil.

The great expectation of this investment is that clean energy plants will add about 6,000 MW of power to the electricity sector, equivalent to nearly half the capacity of the Itaipu Hydroelectric Plant, located on the Paraná River.

The president of the CCEE Council commented on the advantages of investment, implementation, and supply of clean energy in the country.

“Today, the owners of the lands where these plants are located can continue using their lands in the best possible way, using their best knowledge, and in addition, they have additional income from leasing their lands.”

The investment in the construction of new clean energy plants, as already mentioned, will be R$ 34 billion, with most being built in the Northeast, specifically in the states of Bahia, Rio Grande do Norte, Piauí, and Paraíba.

“Due to all these advantages, we at CCEE have no doubt that in the coming years these sources will continue to play a vital role in the growth of the Brazilian power matrix, especially in generating thousands of new jobs and income,” said Rui Altieri, president of the CCEE Council.

The Growing Demand For Clean Energy In Brazil

Energy consumption in Brazil is one of the highest in the world; according to the International Energy Agency, a study conducted in 2012 shows Brazil ranked tenth globally, with an increase of about 38%, above the global average of just 30% over the past 10 years.

The number is high; however, currently, this demand is primarily supported by clean energy, such as solar energy. The wind energy sector in the country reached an installed capacity of 15,000 MW just in April 2020, and solar energy generation reached 3 GW in June of the same year.

On the other hand, biomass generation experienced a decline, reaching 25.4 thousand GWh in 2021, which is 7.5% less than recorded in 2020, representing 4% of total generation in the country, not considering self-consumption.

The Growing Demand For Clean Energy In Brazil

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.

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.

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.

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.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

Brazilians build modern houses 10 minutes from Disney, with luxury finishes, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a $227 condo fee, and potential for Airbnb, targeting investors who want to use the property in Orlando and rent it out when they are not in the United States.

Largest investment per capita in Brazil: city receives R$ 1 billion in sanitation, invests 322% above the national average, and gains a new ETA capable of supplying an additional 1,270 liters of water per second.

Neither washing machine nor laundry: the trick that helps eliminate odors accumulated from sweat, humidity, and dust, restores the volume of pillows and duvets in a few hours, and is surprising those seeking convenience at home.

The truck leaves and the train enters: Transnordestina will invest R$ 3.6 billion in a new railway corridor with an 84-hectare terminal, a 7.5 km branch, and the capacity to double the movement of the Port of Pecém to 40 million tons.
