Joining Forces for a Cleaner and More Efficient Energy Matrix in Brazil.

In a joint effort to enhance its environmental responsibility, Cargill is intensifying its collaboration with Omega Energia. This partnership expansion will focus on a new wind farm project located in the heart of Bahia, aimed at powering all of Cargill’s operations in Brazil.

A Renewed Energy Partnership

Located in the cities of Xique-Xique and Gentio do Ouro, the wind farm, which is currently under construction, will be activated in January 2025. It will incorporate the Assuruá 5 – I and III plants, showcasing an impressive total capacity of 81.2 MW. Most of this production will power Cargill’s units spread across Brazil.

Gabriel Garbin, Regional Energy Director at Cargill, emphasizes the importance of this partnership: “This agreement reflects our ongoing commitment to clean energy and efficiency in our operations. It is also directly aligned with our sustainability mission and our determination to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”

Leveraging Sustainability in Agribusiness

Fabiana Polido, Commercial Director at Omega Energia, highlights the symbiosis between agribusiness and renewable energy. “In a world where it is estimated that US$ 5.7 trillion will be needed by 2030 to curb climate change, partnerships like this one with Cargill are crucial to steer us toward a more sustainable future,” she says.

Reinforcing this vision, it is worth noting that as early as 2022, Cargill and Omega Energia had sealed an agreement aimed at supplying northeastern facilities with wind energy. With the new alliance in 2025, Cargill is further advancing in its sustainability journey, becoming self-generating and deriving most of its energy from renewable sources.

Scientists enter a narrow, flooded cave 500 meters deep and find giant dinosaur footprints on the ceiling measuring up to 1.25 meters, preserved in such a rare way that a new type of trace had to be created.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

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.

Why fighter pilots never return after ejecting: the seat launches the body at 600 km/h in 1 second, compresses the spine, reduces G tolerance, and leads to medical disqualification, not punishment.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

More than 1,500 Chinese workers transformed an entire railway station in just one night and reduced a 7-hour journey to 90 minutes with a high-speed line of 200 km/h.

Cabbage, kale, and broccoli are used to mine thallium metal in toxic soils and provide raw materials for the high-tech industry.

New air-powered artificial muscles allow machines to lift up to 100 times their own weight with fluid movements.

New system that detects danger, decides the ideal route, and overcomes obstacles in heavy cargo transportation

Researchers develop a new advanced encryption system to protect video files against the future threat of quantum computing attacks.

While other powers face challenges in making rockets more accessible, China is betting on the Lijian-2 with reusable technology, standardized engines, and large-scale production to accelerate space missions.
