Four 24-meter suction sails that generate up to 7 times more lift than traditional sails have been installed on a Maersk oil tanker. The autonomous system can reduce consumption by up to 20% and is already recording savings of up to 5.4 tons of fuel per day at sea, with annual cuts potentially reaching thousands of tons on a single vessel.
MODEC, Inc. owns the FPSO and provides operation and maintenance services for the FPSO under a 20-year charter contract.
Renewable Energy Sources Had A Significant Increase In The Energy Matrix In 2019
Reports from MME show data on the increase in the participation of renewable energy sources in the matrix from the previous year.
Renewable energies, including hydroelectric, wind, solar, and biomass, represented 46.1% of the energy matrix in 2019, an increase of 0.6% compared to the 2018 indicator. This value represents three times the global average. This information comes from the Ministry of Mines and Energy, which published the Brazilian Energy Review of 2019.
