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:

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

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.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

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.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

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.

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.

Viaduct used every day by cars, buses, and pedestrians in the center of a São Paulo city becomes a legal case after a report indicates “imminent danger,” cracks, corrosion, and high lethality risk.

Project created by a UFS student defeats European competitors in an engineering award held in Paris and highlights the advancement of Brazilian science with an innovative solution, developed in a public academic environment and recognized by international experts in the technological field.

The seemingly endless sand is disappearing: the world extracts 50 billion tons per year from rivers and beaches, a volume comparable to 19,000 pyramids of Giza, while mafias profit, islands disappear, and city concrete is threatened until 2050.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

Kia emerges with the “ugliest pickup truck in the world”: even with a 2.2 turbo diesel engine with 210 hp, 4×4 traction, a capacity of 3.5 tons, and a goal of 20,000 annual sales, the Tasman sells only 320 units and becomes a problem for the brand in Australia.
