Ingredion Launches Partnership with Omega Energy to Ensure Wind and Fully Renewable Energy for Pernambuco

The natural ingredient solutions company, Ingredion, announced a partnership with Omega Energy for the supply of wind energy that will meet 100% of the consumption of the company’s plant in Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Pernambuco.

The contract guarantees that the energy consumed by the unit will be fully renewable and produced by Omega’s wind energy projects in the northeastern region, making Ingredion’s value chain even more sustainable and aligned with Omega’s own values, which aim to transform society for the better through clean, straightforward wind energy.

The investment in the Pernambuco project will represent significant cost savings for Ingredion and will prevent the emission of more than 50,000 tons of CO2 during the contract period, which is set to start in January 2023 and run until December 2032.

Ingredion Discusses Wind Energy Supply in Pernambuco

With Omega’s partnership in Pernambuco, Ingredion will reinforce its commitment to the sustainability of its operation through the use of clean energy, such as wind energy, according to André Stolf, VP of Operations at Ingredion for South America. He believes that this collaboration will add value directly to clients and partners by reducing environmental impact, increasing efficiency, and lowering costs.

He also states that Omega’s project is an important step for the company to consolidate its sustainable philosophy. Stoff aims to reduce pollutant gas emissions to contribute to the environment, intending to promote environmental advantages with a reduction of up to 90% in greenhouse gas emissions.

The Commercial Director of Omega Energy, Fabiana Polido, celebrates that the company will be part of Ingredion’s sustainable energy strategy, a company that, like Omega, values good management of ESG criteria and understands its responsibility in the environmental preservation process.

Wind Energy in the Northeast

The northeastern region contains most of Brazil’s wind energy parks, considering that the northeastern territory has excellent favorable meteorological conditions, with steady and strong winds, and where wind energy generation turbines have proliferated.

The Serra do Inácio region, the border area between Pernambuco and Piauí, will receive an estimated investment of R$ 2 billion. It is expected to host at least 175 wind farms by 2023.

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.

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.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

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.

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.

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.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
