Procon’s Receipt In Navegantes Ensures Stability In Average Fuel Prices In Santa Catarina

In The Last Week, A Survey Conducted By Procon In Navegantes, Santa Catarina, Indicated That There Was A Slight Variation In Fuel Prices, Allowing Stability Between December And January In The State.

According To The Report, The Average Price Remained Stable For Regular And Additive Gasoline And For Diesel S10, Compared To The Same Period Of The Previous Month. In Practice, This Represents A Clear Sign Of Stability, Especially Due To Uncertainties In The Fuel Sector In Brazil.

However, The Report Indicated A Significant Variation For Ethanol, With An Increase Of 12%. The Bulletin Also Reported That Prices Practiced In Navegantes Are Below The State Average, Except For Diesel S-10 And Ethanol, Which Remained Above The Average Prices.

In Total, 14 Fuel Points Were Checked In The Municipality. In December, An Inspection Of The Quality And Quantity Of Fuel Was Also Conducted At Four Other Stations. The Inspection Occurred Under The Administrative Processes Of The Inspection Sector Of Procon In Navegantes/SC, In Partnership With The National Agency of Petroleum – ANP.

Such Inspections By Procon Occur Due To Suggestions From The Population Regarding The Average Fuel Prices. Thus, The Entity Carries Out Monthly Actions On The Quality And Quantity Of Fuels Consumed In The Municipality.

In The Last Week, Data From Sinpeb (Union of Retail Trade in Oil Derivatives of Blumenau) Indicated That Even With The Freezing Of Fuel Prices, Several Cities In Santa Catarina Continued To Raise Fuel Prices.

Thus, It Is Expected That The New Measures From The Federal Government — Such As The Exemption From PIS/PASEP — Along With Investments In The Fuel Sector Will Bring A New Price Perspective For The State. However, The Stations Still Continue To Charge A Price Above The Frozen One, Even With Constant Notifications From Procon.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

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.

The race of humanoid robots in factories has truly begun, Hyundai announced that it will deploy more than 25,000 units of Atlas in its production lines starting in 2028, in a partnership that involves Boston Dynamics and training with Google DeepMind.

How much does it cost to live with dignity in Brazil? A study found that in all 79 regions analyzed, the necessary salary was above the minimum of R$ 1,621. In São Paulo, a family of four needs R$ 6,155 per month.
