Northeast Breaks Record for Wind and Solar Energy Generation Last Month

Brazil is one of the great global examples when it comes to renewable energy, such as wind and solar power. The energy matrix of Brazil is the cleanest among the world’s major economies. In addition to that, the country leads the South American ranking in wind power generation capacity. With this, the federal government celebrates ten records of energy production from renewable sources in the northeast, according to information released by the National Electric System Operator (ONS).

According to ONS, there were four records for average wind energy generation and four for instantaneous generation (peak), as well as two records for solar photovoltaic generation. Additionally, the government celebrated the figure recorded on July 22, when wind energy was able to supply the northeast region at 102% for 24 hours a day. On that day, the winds generated 11,399 MW.

Minister of Mines and Energy Highlights the Importance of Clean Energy

Bento Albuquerque, Minister of Mines and Energy, stated in a recent interview that Brazil needs to increase the supply of other clean energy sources. The government’s idea is to reduce the reliance on hydropower, which can become overloaded during dry periods.

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.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

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.

Peru plans to build, with Chinese technology and capital, what is intended to be the fastest train in South America, a high-speed line between Lima and Ica at up to 200 km/h, but the $6.5 billion project is only expected to be completed around 2032.

A glow lasting only 1 hour observed in space in 2019 may have revealed a primordial black hole with a mass of 3 moons, associated with dark matter and considered 100,000 times more likely than common stellar objects by scientists in the study.

Abdominal seems simple, but it hides a secret that can change your workout: the exercise strengthens the core, improves posture, and can even prevent injuries when done correctly.

While tons of grape pomace are discarded in Brazilian wineries, researchers are transforming grape residues into bricks and adobe that reduce waste, improve thermal insulation, and pave the way for large-scale sustainable construction.
