The Global Clean Energy Trend Gains Traction in Brazil

Solar energy, used to power electric cars, is gaining popularity worldwide as the search for cleaner and more sustainable energy sources intensifies. According to ANFAVEA (National Association of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers) and the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), by 2030, electric cars will represent 5% of the Brazilian fleet, with an annual sales expectation of 180,000 units.

Currently, solar energy stands out as the most economical option for charging electric vehicles, and it is a clean and renewable energy source that does not produce greenhouse gas emissions and does not rely on fossil fuels like oil or natural gas. Furthermore, in light of the increasing demand for electric vehicles, solar energy emerges as a viable alternative to meet the challenge of sustaining electrical supply, as electricity generation from hydropower is becoming increasingly pressured due to recurring water rationing in the country.

Solar Energy on the Rise: The Dominant Source by 2050

According to the National Electric Energy Agency, solar energy currently provides about 109.7 GW and is expected to become the most used energy source by 2050, surpassing hydropower. To charge electric cars, solar energy can be harnessed in two ways: by installing solar panels on homes or businesses that generate electricity from sunlight or through electric vehicle charging stations powered by photovoltaic systems.

Setting Up a Charging Point: Considerations and Benefits

When setting up a private charging point, it is important to consider the desired charging capacity, the location of the residence, and the type of installation. The guidelines are established by ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) and include safety measures and protection against overloads on the electrical grid. Installing solar panels can be an advantageous option for electric car owners, as the energy generated can be used to charge the vehicle at no additional cost. Additionally, it contributes to reducing the owner’s carbon footprint, as the energy generated is clean and renewable.

Setting Up a Charging Point: Considerations and Benefits

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

A factory video in India goes viral showing workers wearing helmets with cameras to train an artificial intelligence that will eventually replace these same employees on the production lines.

In the South Atlantic, three isolated volcanic islands cause the wind to draw perfect spirals visible from space: a rare phenomenon called von Kármán vortex streets forms symmetrical patterns behind the peaks of the South Sandwich Islands and was recorded by the NOAA-20 satellite in 2025.

Created to cling to ships like a lamprey, the new U.S. underwater drone sleeps on the ocean floor, launches torpedoes, and recharges itself with the current.

NASA’s rover found the highest concentration of metals ever detected on Mars within a crater that may have housed a lake with conditions favorable for the emergence of life in the past.

A rainfall system that supports billions could face abrupt disruption, and scientists warn that the Asian monsoon is already showing signs of instability capable of triggering droughts, floods, and cascading agricultural collapses.

In the Netherlands, a country where half of the territory is below sea level, entire neighborhoods of floating houses rise and fall with the tide and may be the solution for cities that will face increasingly severe flooding.

South Korea held plasma at 100 million degrees for 102 seconds inside a nuclear fusion reactor — more than double the previous record and the most concrete step taken towards endless clean energy.
