With Estimated Investment of US$ 2 Billion, Plants in Rio de Janeiro Will Become the Largest Thermoelectric Complex in Latin America

On Wednesday, August 21, Prumo Logística announced that the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES), the IFC (International Finance Corporation – World Bank), and the German development bank KfW released funding of US$ 750 million for the completion of the first phase of the energy generation complex in São João da Barra, Rio de Janeiro. Check open positions for electrical, piping, instrumentation, mechanical, and administrative professionals at the Port of Açu,

The first phase of the project consists of a natural gas regasification terminal and a thermoelectric plant with about 1,300 MW of installed capacity. The venture is being developed by Gás Natural Açu (GNA), a joint venture between Prumo, BP, and Siemens.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Scientists find pen ink in Martian meteorites and expose a flaw in NASA’s sample preparation, warning that invisible contaminations can confuse analyses and require urgent unified protocols.

China successfully tested a machine that cuts submarine cables at a depth of 3,500 meters, and 99% of the world’s internet passes through these cables.

The most efficient house in the world does not use concrete, has no modern insulation, and was created over 1000 years ago in Iceland, made of earth and grass, retains heat in extreme cold, and still reduces almost all heating needs.

Oceans are coming under the spotlight of a technology that generates electricity 24 hours a day with just a 20 °C difference, and 144 years after being conceived on paper, it is advancing with a floating platform of 1.5 MW.

NASA reveals 10 astronomical phenomena in 2026 with a total eclipse, supermoons, and a rare spectacle that could still turn the sky upside down by December.
