Bill Approved By The Government Of Espírito Santo Should Generate Many Opportunities In The Brazilian Solar Energy Industry

The government of Espírito Santo announced last week the launch of the GERAR Program, which aims to triple investments in distributed generation of solar photovoltaic energy and expand incentives for renewable sources. The program has the support of the Brazilian Association of Solar Photovoltaic Energy (ABSOLAR) and demonstrates commitment to the goals set by the state to reduce its pollutant emissions, contributing to the fight against the climate crisis.

Government Exempts Companies And Individuals From Renewable Energy Products

The bill from the government of Espírito Santo exempts units – whether individuals or legal entities – producing electricity from renewable sources, such as photovoltaic panels (solar energy), from paying ICMS. The measure is valid for microsystems (with production of 100 KW or less) or minisystems (between 100 KW and 1 MW).

Once approved, the legislation will return to the Executive for sanction and will take effect the day after the law is published. This bill was Espírito Santo’s option to validate its adherence to the Federal Government’s ICMS Agreement No. 16/2015, which authorizes states to promote the exemption.

‘Better Late Than Never’

On its website, the Legislative Assembly highlighted the positions of some lawmakers who had been working for years in favor of state legislation to encourage the production of clean energy. It stated that even approving the project late is better than never having approved it.

‘Better Late Than Never’

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.

The largest meat cooperative in Brazil estimates that it would need to hire an additional 11,000 workers on top of the current 51,000 just to produce slightly less than today, if Congress approves the end of the 6×1 schedule and the 40-hour workweek.

Payment methods that facilitate sales

Acelen advances with megabiorefinery in Bahia with a R$ 503 million investment released by BNDES and boosts the production of sustainable fuels with advanced technology capable of transforming vegetable oil and waste into green diesel and low-emission aviation fuel.

Nvidia wants to spend up to $150 billion annually in Taiwan, employ 4,000 people, and transform the new headquarters into a key piece of AI expansion.

James Webb finds a deformed lemon-shaped planet orbiting a dead star, with an atmosphere of helium and carbon, soot and carbon clouds that could turn into diamond in the depths; composition defies everything scientists expected from a Jupiter-sized world.

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.
