Natural Gas Thermal Power Projects Rank Third Among Energy Sources, Accounting for Almost 30% of Generation Capacity.

Just as the ANP auction held yesterday in Rio de Janeiro was a success, the Ministry of Mines and Energy expects the same for the A-6 Energy Auction, scheduled to begin generation in 2025, set for next Friday (10/18). Petrobras and Equinor Confirm Investments Focused on Natural Gas Thermal Generation Projects.
The auction will take place next Friday (10/18) and will feature 1,541 registered projects; see below the ranking by energy source and installed capacity.

The 1,541 eligible projects have a total installed capacity of 71,385 megawatts (MW), which corresponds to 42.5% of the currently installed capacity of the entire Brazilian generation park.
The competition for energy generation is led by wind power, followed by solar and natural gas thermal power plants; here are the numbers:

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.

The ocean absorbs a quarter of our carbon emissions, but scientists warn that the collapse of a vital Atlantic current could reverse this role and turn the sea into a driver of global warming.

Military robots face one of the toughest field tests in the world in the mountainous terrain of the Swiss Army.

Astronomers find stronger evidence of the first stars in the universe – discovery reveals the chemistry of Population III stars.

Archaeologists find 18,000 “sticky notes” from ancient Egypt that reveal what life was like for ordinary people at the time.

Russia surprises the world with its new weapon that does not fire, but makes its soldiers ‘invisible’, controls drones hundreds of kilometers away, reduces training to 1 hour, integrates autonomous AI, and already supports over 30,000 drones in warfare.
