The Technical Cooperation Agreement Between The Companies Provides For The Exchange Of Information And Collaboration In Studies For The Projects. Eletrobras And Shell Aim To Invest In Offshore Wind Energy In The Coming Years, Following The Pace Of The Energy Market.

The energy company Eletrobras announced on Thursday, December 15, the signing of a technical cooperation agreement with the oil company Shell, aiming at the future of the Brazilian energy market. Amid the growth of studies for offshore wind energy projects, the companies intend to collaborate with each other to enable these studies and possible ventures. Eletrobras seeks to make its operations increasingly sustainable, investing in renewable energies, while Shell targets offshore wind projects for the coming years.

The international energy market is increasingly seeking to align with the environmental agenda, making the production of resources cleaner and more sustainable. Thus, investments in renewable energies in Brazil are on the rise.

Among them, studies for wind energy production projects in Brazil are the great bet for the coming years.

Eletrobras Invests In The Energy Transition Of Its Operations And Aims To Use Offshore Wind Energy Projects To Boost Initiative

The energy transition has been increasingly debated by Eletrobras, which is now investing in renewable energies to boost the initiative.

In this way, the technical cooperation agreement with Shell could be an alternative to bring the transition even closer.

Eletrobras President Wilson Ferreira Jr recently stated that the company aims to achieve net-zero emissions in scopes 1 (operations), 2 (energy consumed), and 3 (supply chain).

To achieve this goal, the company will invest in the sale of thermal plants, in addition to renewable energy projects.

It plans to raise around R$ 4.4 billion by selling stakes in companies by 2023, making its operations increasingly sustainable.

Alongside this initiative, the studies for offshore wind energy projects with Shell demonstrate the environmental commitment the company intends to adopt in the coming years.

Shell Already Has Six Offshore Wind Energy Projects Under Analysis At Ibama And Invests In The Market

During March 2022, the oil company Shell submitted to the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama) the environmental licensing for six offshore wind energy projects, which total more than 17 GW of capacity.

The company is already preparing for the start of environmental studies and awaits appropriate regulation in the segment for the development of ventures along the Brazilian coast.

“With over 20 years of experience in wind energy worldwide and more than 50 years of tradition in offshore projects, Shell aims to combine its expertise in these two areas to provide more energy and clean energy for the country,” said Gabriela Oliveira, Renewable Generation Manager at Shell in Brazil.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Turkey hit a target using a real warhead and confirmed that its SOM-J cruise missile is ready, another step for the country to become a power that manufactures and exports its own military technology.

While the United States and China compete over giant rockets and lunar bases, India made a “spaceplane” land on its own at over 320 km/h after being released by a helicopter at an altitude of 4.5 km; Pushpak shows that New Delhi also wants to enter the era of reusable space vehicles.

Japan and Mercosur may reach an agreement to lower the cost of cars and auto parts, with manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan coming into focus.

Volkswagen is preparing an SUV derived from the new Amarok to compete with the Toyota SW4 and Haval H9, utilize the Argentine Pacheco factory, and transform a pickup into a more profitable family of products.

Virginia engineers transform 100,000 tons of demolished concrete from the Hampton Roads bridge into artificial reefs in the Chesapeake Bay, turning the debris from a mega-construction project into marine shelter while the old structure was still being dismantled.
