The Spanish group Iberdrola Announced That It Will Invest Approximately €6.5 Billion (Almost R$ 30 Billion) in Projects in Brazil Over the Next Five Years, Aiming to Improve Energy Supply in the Country. The Announcement Was Made by the President of Iberdrola, José Ignacio Sánchez Galán, During the Inauguration of the Baixo Iguaçu Hydroelectric Plant, a Project Managed by Neoenergia, a Subsidiary of the Spanish Group, and Companhia Paranaense de Energia (Copel).

The Plant, Located in Capanema, Paraná, Has Over 350 Megawatts of Power and Received R$ 2.3 Billion in Investments. The Energy Produced on Site Will Be Sufficient to Supply 1 Million People and Will Account for 8% of Annual Demand in Paraná.

Baixo Iguaçu Is the Sixth Hydroelectric Plant Built in the Iguaçu Basin.

Installed on the Iguaçu River, Home to the Famous Falls, the Baixo Iguaçu Hydroelectric Plant Was Built with the Turbines Placed Only 15 Meters Below the Water Level, in a Type of Hydroelectric Plant Known as Run-of-River.

Unlike the More Common Models, Whose Large Reservoirs Require Flooding Extensive Areas, This Type of Plant Generates Less Energy, but at the Same Time Causes a Lower Environmental Impact.

The Installation of the Hydroelectric Plant Also Promoted Job Creation and Boosted Tax Revenue for Municipalities. With the Completion of the Project, the Annual Royalty Revenue Should Exceed R$ 4 Million for the Municipalities. The Resources Will Be Distributed to the Municipalities Proportionally, According to the Area Flooded by the Reservoir.

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.

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.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.
