Despite the Contrasts of Recent Months Regarding Solar Energy Generation, the Trend Is That in 2020 New Records Will Be Achieved

The production of solar energy in Brazil in the first 15 days of 2020 rose to 590 average megawatts (MWa), up from 507 MWa a year ago, an increase of 16.3%. After the President of the Republic stated that this type of generation will no longer be taxed to consumers through a Bill That Will Be Discussed in Congress This Year, experts claim that this market still has plenty of room to grow.

On the other hand, wind generation fell by 39.7% to 3,518 MWa. Its share in the mix decreased from 5.5% to 5.2% at the beginning of 2019, according to data published in the Weekly InfoMarket from the Electric Energy Trading Chamber (CCEE), the weekly bulletin of energy generation and consumption.

Biomass energy generation increased from 1,074 MWa to 1,068 MWa. Hydroelectric plants (UHE) produced 50,763 MWa, down from 55,802 MWa the previous year. Brazil saw a huge increase in gas energy generation to 6,445 MWa, up from 2,912 MWa a year ago.

900 Job Vacancies in the Solar Energy Sector in June

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fishermen accidentally catch a 2.5-meter goblin shark at a depth of 900 meters in Gran Canaria and record one of the rarest creatures of the deep ocean still alive.

Scientists create “living” materials that crawl, walk, and dig on their own by transforming internal tension into movement, mimicking biological tissues without having real cells.

NR-1 obliges companies to pay attention to mental health at work and highlights the impact of abusive targets, exhausting work hours, and harassment on leaves due to psychological disorders.

First electric Ferrari emerges with five seats, unconventional design, million-dollar price, and a burning question among fans: genius or betrayal of tradition?

Labubu officially arrives in Brazil in June with prices up to R$ 799.99, attempts to curb the invasion of counterfeits, and turns serrated-tooth dolls into a new craze among collectors.

Scientists develop a low-cost alternative to generate green hydrogen on a large scale using an innovative chemical process; discovery could revolutionize energy infrastructure, heavy industry, and sustainable transportation systems around the world.

Forget common renewable energy: HydroWing prepares a 10 MW project in Indonesia to transform ocean currents into predictable electricity, using turbines installed on the seabed in a region where the funnel effect between islands increases tidal potential.

The world could operate on clean electricity by 2050, but a study indicates that this would require up to 20 TW of renewable energy, more than 9 million hectares for solar, and strong cooperation between countries.
