A Decade of Innovation in Clean Energy

Celebrating a journey of ten years of operations, Honda Energy, the renewable energy division of the Honda group, announces a remarkable milestone for the Brazilian automotive industry: the production of 1 million cars using clean electric energy generated by its own wind farm. This initiative underscores the company’s commitment to sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of its operations, aligning with the global mission to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Honda Energy provides electricity not only for Honda’s factories located in the interior of São Paulo but also for its administrative office in the capital, through the National Interconnected System. This achievement is made possible by the wind farm located in Xangri-lá, Rio Grande do Sul, inaugurated in November 2014, showcasing Honda’s leadership in adopting eco-friendly practices in the automotive sector.

Celebrating Sustainability

The celebration of this achievement was marked by a ceremony attended by Otavio Mizikami, President of Honda Energy and Industrial Vice President of Honda Automobiles, along with various authorities and partners. “For nearly a decade, our operation has shown significant results, positioning Honda as a reference in sustainability in Brazil. We are the only company in the national automotive sector completely self-sufficient in renewable electric energy, and this self-sufficiency allows us to look to the future with pride in our achievements and optimism to continue paving the way for a healthier planet,” emphasizes Mizikami.

Honda Energy: Pioneering and Impact

Located in Xangri-Lá, Honda’s project features ten wind turbines, achieving an installed capacity of 31.7 MW. Since the beginning of its operations, the initiative has avoided the emission of 47,000 tons of CO2 and generated approximately 720,000 MWh of energy. This amount of energy is sufficient to supply nearly 35,000 households for ten years, highlighting the significant impact of the project on environmental preservation.

The operation of the wind farm is based on the conversion of mechanical energy, generated by the movement of the wind turbine blades, into electric energy. This energy is then transmitted to the Atlântida Substation, connected to the National Interconnected System, facilitating the exchange of electric energy throughout the country.

This journey of Honda Energy not only reinforces Honda’s commitment to environmental innovation but also sets an inspiring example for the automotive sector and beyond. The ability to produce 1 million cars with clean energy highlights the viability and positive impact of renewable energies in the industry, encouraging other companies to follow a similar path towards sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Bored at home, a 13-year-old teenager discovered tutorials on building studio apartments, raised $1,500, and turned the family’s backyard into a construction site.

Few remember, but a woman entered the basement of her own house, dug 9.1 meters underground, installed ventilation, created a mine cart, and became famous on social media before being stopped by authorities.

New Honda HooRide 125 scooter debuts in China with ADV styling, 17-inch wheels, TFT panel, Smart Key, and fuel consumption of up to 47.17 km/l, aiming to resemble an urban X-ADV with a 125 engine, CVT transmission, and an economical proposal for cities.

An entire sea disappeared from the map: the Aral Sea, formerly the fourth largest lake on the planet, lost more than 90% of its area in a few decades and left behind a toxic desert where fishing boats rust over 100 km from the water that once supported entire cities.
