Engie Sells 50% of TAG to Canadian Fund CDPQ in Thursday Announcement. Attractive Deal with Significant Increase in the Valuation of the Gas Carrier.

The sale of 15% of Transportadora Associada de Gás (TAG) to Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec (CDPQ) marks another major move by Engie in the energy market. With the transaction of R$ 3 billion, the French company reinforces its strategic presence in the sector and consolidates international partnerships to drive growth.

Engie Brasil Energia, which held 32.5% of TAG, now has a reduced stake of 17.5%. Meanwhile, GDF International maintains its 32.5% share in the carrier. With CDPQ increasing its stake to 50%, TAG’s transport network becomes even stronger, consolidating the importance of the partnership between the two companies in the pipeline sector.

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.

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.

Samara left the city, built a small power plant on her property, and now lives surrounded by waterfalls, her own energy, sustainable recycling, and preserved nature in the Serra da Mantiqueira.

While Saudi Arabia and Qatar are already closing a 300-kilometer-per-hour bullet train to connect the capitals in two years, Brazil is still at the stage of auctioning the first freight railway that should actually come to fruition.

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.
