The Solar Power Plants in Minas Gerais Will Start Operating in November, This Year

At the end of 2020, the government of Minas Gerais and EMGD (Empresa Mineira de Geração Distribuída) reached an agreement, in which 5 new solar power plants will be inaugurated in the state in November. The memorandum of understanding also envisions incentives for development, the generation of new jobs, and the reduction of social inequality in the northern region of the state.

Following the investment plan of over R$ 400 million, EMGD plans to contract the construction of three more power plants in Taiobeiras and one in Minas Novas, Minas Gerais, by August, which will be completed by mid-2022. According to André Mendonça, operations director at EMGD, the simultaneous execution of the projects will generate nearly two hundred jobs in the region and boost the local economy through indirect services in sectors like hospitality and food, for example.

With approximately R$ 65 million allocated and its own engineering team, EMGD will apply the best and newest technologies, aiming for quality and performance of the new assets in Minas Gerais. The solar power plants will feature a tracking system, the tracker, bifacial modules, and equipment from renowned suppliers.

In the first four months of this year (January to April 2021), 1.1 GW was added to the installed solar energy capacity in Brazil, boosted by Distributed Generation, with more than half of that amount in Minas Gerais. Overall, distributed generation and new investments in solar energy represented 1.8% of the Brazilian electric matrix in April, reaching 8.813 GW.

Minas Gerais continues to be the leader in distributed generation among states, with 17.8% of installed projects. Following it are the state of São Paulo (12.5%) and Rio Grande do Sul (12.4%). The main driver of distributed generation has been the residential sector, accounting for 40% of installed capacity. In second place is commerce with 36.7%, followed by the rural segment (13.1%) and industry (8.5%).

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.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

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.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

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.

Foresea announces winners of the 3rd supplier award highlighting performance, technology, and sustainability in the oil and gas sector in Macaé.

Scientists linked to NASA are raising alarms about the End of the World, which could begin much sooner than many people imagine, reducing the biosphere’s timeline to 1.08 billion years.

Scientists create living neurobots with frog cells, induce neurons to emerge in their own organism, and observe these microscopic bodies change movement as soon as nervous activity appears.

A virus that infects most of the world’s population has challenged medicine for decades, but a new antibody can block the invasion and opens a promising route for protection.

With a displacement of almost 2,000 meters and measuring 68 meters, the submarine NRP Tridente leaves Lisbon to participate in NATO’s Operation Brilliant Shield, aiming to strengthen surveillance in strategic areas.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
