The Vestas Factory Is Located in Aquiraz, Ceará, and With the Supply of Wind Turbines, It Will Be Able to Generate Approximately 800 Jobs in the Region

Vestas, in partnership with Casa dos Ventos, has concluded An Agreement for the Supply of 291 Wind Turbines That will total 1.3 GW of wind energy generation capacity in Ceará. This partnership between the two companies is the largest ever made by the Danish factory in the world for onshore turbines, meaning turbines that will be placed on land. The turbine acquisition contract by the factory is also considered the largest in wind energy equipment procurement ever recorded in Latin America, according to the Portal In website.

With a presence in Brazil since 2008 and the factory opening in 2011 in Ceará, Vestas has a strong presence in the state, having a unit in the city of Aquiraz, which has doubled its wind energy generation capacity three years after its inauguration, in 2019.

Now, in partnership with Casa dos Ventos, the factory will serve two wind energy generation projects In the Northeast, with investments of R$ 9 billion and with the possibility of generating many job vacancies.

In addition to Ceará, Vestas will also supply 123 wind turbines for the Babilônia Wind Complex located in Bahia, which has an installed capacity of 554 MW. For the Serra do Tigre Wind Complex located in Rio Grande do Norte, Vestas will supply 186 wind turbines with an energy generation capacity of 756 MW.

The agreed value between the two companies for supply to the factories has not yet been disclosed, however, Wind energy generation turbines cost on average 65% to 75% of the total project value for energy.

According to Lucas Araripe, executive director of Casa dos Ventos: “For this new energy generation agreement, there are 1.3 GW of machines. It is the largest contract for Vestas for onshore projects, the largest in Latin America, and one of the largest in the world (…). Adding previous projects and this last order, we reach over 3 GW in partnership with Vestas.”

Additionally, according to Eduardo Ricotta, president of Vestas in Latin America, the company will begin to mobilize its Ceará factory for the assembly of energy generation equipment, with the expectation of delivery set for 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. To meet the demand from Casa dos Ventos, approximately 800 job vacancies will be generated.

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.

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.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
