Partnership With Danish Company May Bring Tidal Energy to Brazil’s Renewables. Check Out the Details.

Brazil, being a country with continental dimensions and having the oil and gas sector as one of its main sources of foreign exchange, has the opportunity to explore its territory by investing in the generation of electricity through more renewable ways, such as tidal energy. Thus, Ulstein Belga Marine, an innovation center of the Norwegian shipbuilder in Brazil, is betting on a partnership with the Danish developer Resen Waves for the sharing of smart technologies to explore Brazilian industries in this area. Therefore, we detail how wave energy generation works and more about this promising partnership, announced this week (22) on social media.

About the Partnership With Resen Waves

The partnership with the Danish developer Resen Waves aims to commercialize technology for various sectors, from oil and gas to carbon capture and storage (CCS), desalination, and ocean monitoring. Learn a little more about the technology in the video below (turn on automatic captions):

“The wave energy from the ocean is not a closely explored field in Brazil, but considering the size of the Brazilian coast and its maritime area, the potential for generating wave energy here is undeniable. With this new partnership, UBM helps bring another sustainable solution to the market and for the energy transition that is already happening in Brazil. For the oil and gas industry, the benefits of the technology provided by Resen Waves are numerous and will certainly innovate operations at sea,” said Alexandre de Carvalho, business development manager at Ulstein Belga Marine.

How Tidal Energy Generation Works

We have already understood how promising this partnership can be. Now, how about understanding how the generation of wave energy actually works, a clean and renewable way?

The movement of the waves, connected to an air chamber, causes the air inside to escape. This movement makes a turbine spin. The mechanical energy from the turbine is transformed into electrical energy through a generator. At the moment the wave breaks and the water recedes, the air moves in the opposite direction, reactivating the turbine. This is just one of the existing ways to generate clean and renewable energy, which can be a promising alternative given the entire stretch of the Brazilian coast.

Check out the video below showcasing the first wave power plant in Latin America generating electricity, located at the Port of Pecém in the Brazilian state of Ceará:

Another possible source of generating clean and renewable electricity is through tidal energy, that is, from the movement of seawater. For this transformation, some dikes are constructed that enclose a beach. With the flooding of the tide, seawater enters and is stored within the dikes. When the tide lowers, the water exits through the dike, as in any other type of dam.

However, for this system to effectively work, strong tides and currents are necessary. There must be a considerable increase in the water level of at least 5.5 meters from low tide to high tide.

Advantages of Investing in This Type of Energy

Below, we list some considerable advantages of investing in this type of energy, check it out:

Renewable and inexhaustible energy source;
Environmentally friendly;
Various ways to harness wave energy;
Easy to predict;
Reduces dependence on fossil fuels, especially oil and gas;
Does not cause damage to the earth’s surface;
Low maintenance and operating costs.

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.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

NASA scientist discovers 282 meteors that reveal the existence of an unknown asteroid near Earth that is breaking apart near the Sun and has created a meteor shower that no one knew existed until now.

Oppo A6t arrives in Brazil for R$ 899 with a giant 6,500 mAh battery, up to 13.3 hours of video, Snapdragon 685, 6.75″ 120 Hz display, 50 MP camera, reverse charging, IP64 rating, and a promise of up to 48 months of smooth performance.

Entrepreneur transforms computer keys, used clothing, and electronic boards into unique bags that cost up to 490 reais and earns 5,000 per month selling pieces that do not exist in any store.

Few people know, but this Brazilian presenter owns the largest farm in an entire state, with 150 thousand hectares along a highway in the Legal Amazon, an area larger than cities and valued as a billion-dollar strategic asset in Acre.

Supermarkets can no longer find employees and the solution is to end the 6×1 shift: the chain adopts a 5×2 shift, opens 140 positions with 44-hour workweeks, 2 days off, complete benefits, and a voucher of up to R$ 500 in SC.
