The State of Ceará Concentrates About 20% of Offshore Wind Farm Projects Throughout Brazil. They Are Close to Becoming One of the Main Sources of Clean and Renewable Energy in the Decarbonization Process of the Economy.
Last Thursday, (07/28), it was announced that the state of Ceará stands out in the offshore wind energy sector, concentrating about 20% of the offshore projects. Currently, the offshore facilities are in the process of environmental licensing with Ibama, but the offshore plants are already a reality.
The State of Ceará Has About 20% of the 58 Offshore Wind Projects Throughout Brazil
Thus, Brazil has more than 58 offshore wind energy projects, totaling 133 GW of capacity. Of these, about 20% are in the state of Ceará, and the production expectation is nearly 60% above the global average, because the geographical characteristics, such as shallow depths, proximity to the coast, and powerful, constant, and well-directed winds, enhance the results of the plants.
It is important to emphasize that every installed GW represents about US$ 2 billion in investments and more than 10,000 jobs created.

With 160,000 m² of collectors, an area larger than 20 football fields, Silkeborg, in Denmark, hosts a solar thermal plant that heats 19,500 homes and could become the largest solar heating plant in the world.

A study reveals the expansion of renewable energy procurement in Brazil and shows how companies are taking advantage of opportunities to reduce expenses, ensure energy efficiency, and strengthen strategic environmental commitments.

Mato Grosso do Sul excels in the sugar-energy sector: the state reaches a milestone of 22 operating mills and accelerates the production of clean energy in MS with a focus on sustainability.

231 turbines of 260 meters at 160 km from the coast, monopiles weighing as much as nine blue whales embedded in the North Sea, and a crane ship taller than the Eiffel Tower: Hornsea 3 will be the largest offshore wind farm on the planet by 2027, and its first components have already arrived in England.
“We should see new jobs related to administration and law for the drafting of contracts and business models, in engineering for project development, in schools and universities for professional training, in construction works, in the operation and maintenance of equipment, in the transport sector, and in various other activities throughout the productive chain of offshore wind energy production,” highlighted the coordinator of the Energy Center at the Federation of Industries of the State of Ceará (FIEC).
The development of the implementation of offshore plants is being guided by the detailing of the necessary regulations and also by the holding of a federal auction for the purchase of this new source of clean and renewable energy. This way, it will be possible to stimulate the evolution of this type of production, providing conditions for the harnessing of the giant potential existing throughout Brazil.
BI Energia Is One of the Companies with an Advanced Project
One of the companies with projects in advanced stages is BI Energia. The company began conducting studies back in 2016 when little was said about this type of production, and currently, the company already has more than 50 projects just waiting for approval. While the approval does not occur, the company continues with other research and projects, an activity that will considerably elevate the GDP of Ceará. The state is a pioneer in this green energy generation market.
“Brazil today already has 82% renewable sources and has enormous potential for the production of Green Hydrogen, which will be the fuel to replace gasoline and diesel. This production should not be limited to internal consumption; it is necessary to supply the largest energy consumers, which are the industrial, steel, and transport sectors. With H2V, there will be no more CO2 emissions, the great villain of the environment that has caused temperatures to rise in countries like Spain, France, and Portugal,” says Lauro Fiuza Junior, chairman of the board of Grupo Servtec Energia.
Moreover, the production of wind energy from offshore projects will be one of the main topics discussed during the FIEC Summit at the panel “Challenges of Offshore Wind in Brazil,” featuring the participation of the chairman of the Servtec board; Adão Linhares, executive secretary of energy and telecommunications of Seinfra; and Carlos Alberto Mendes, superintendent of Semace.
