The process of generating energy from sugarcane occurs through steam production, where the cane bagasse, which is burned in a boiler, generates the steam that will drive a turbine coupled to the GE Power Conversion generator, the largest ever installed at the Colombian plant in Incauca.

This solid pole generator from GE will assist both the Incauca plant and the Colombian grid in providing vital energy for the population, while also utilizing the waste from bagasse for a more sustainable use of renewable energy.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

While cigarette butts appear on sidewalks, beaches, and sewers, researchers tested the waste in clay bricks and calculated a 10% savings in burning with just 1% in the mixture.

Not Brazil, Paraguay, or Argentina: the country that will cross mountains with the largest road tunnel in the Americas is another country, with a 9.8 km project, an investment of US$ 1.3 billion, and a promise to cut travel time in 2027.

A billionaire could buy a huge yacht, but chose a 17,000-acre farm in Australia for $10 million to transform former pastures into a nature reserve, save a historic forest, and provide shelter for endangered species.

While ships burn diesel even when docked, a floating platform with hydrogen promises to bring clean energy to the port without waiting years for construction.

Common land turns into 4 compact townhouses with two parking spaces, suites, skylights, and free space at the back for expansion, a solution that tries to tackle the high price of lots and keep affordable housing in the Minha Casa Minha Vida program outside expensive gated communities in Blumenau.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
