EDP has plans to strengthen the energy transition in Brazil over the coming years.

The launch of the green hydrogen production plant in Ceará marks a significant step toward this, in addition to consolidating the organization’s commitment to the state.

Besides the production of fuel, the project includes the development of a roadmap with scenario analyses for scalability, considering all links in the production chain.

Thus, it will be able to further expand its green hydrogen production project in the state of Ceará.

“Even more important than producing the first molecule are the knowledge and experience that this initiative brings to EDP and to the green hydrogen market in Brazil. Now, with the plant completed and fully operational, which is pioneering in the country, our focus is to improve the generation process, assess business models, expand production, and establish strategic partnerships with different industry segments that can utilize the gas,” highlighted João Marques da Cruz, CEO of EDP in Brazil.

EDP celebrated the launch of its new green hydrogen production plant and expects to continue investing in renewable 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.

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.

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.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Change in INSS reduces waiting time from 45 to 30 days, prioritizes pensions, revisions, and BPC, and could expedite over 100,000 stalled processes, while employees receive productivity bonuses and the government attempts to reduce a backlog that still exceeds 2.1 million requests.

David Camacho, the 10-year-old Mexican child prodigy with an IQ of 162, higher than Einstein’s, underwent astronaut training at NASA, speaks four languages, and created an app to help children deal with emotions after the bullying he experienced.

London waited more than 360 years for this scene: four pelican chicks are born in St James’s Park, surprising experts, resembling little dinosaurs, and turning an isolation caused by avian flu into a historic chapter for the birds that have lived alongside British royalty since 1664.

They wanted artificial intelligence, but they drained the water from a village in Mexico: the water consumption of data centers caused a hepatitis outbreak, and big tech companies Amazon, Microsoft, and Google were forced to halt billion-dollar projects.

System created to save lives in disasters turned ‘against’ Brazilians overnight: a hacker attack sent out a false alert from Civil Defense with the word “misantropia” that went off on the phones of half the country, even in silent mode, and took down the Cell Broadcast.

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.
