The President Strongly Denied Any Contradiction with the Environmental Policies Advocated, Reaffirming His Commitment to the Transition to More Sustainable Energy. He Emphasized the Importance of Concrete Measures for the Environment.

During the Sunday interview, Lula stated that he was unaware of the statement made by the president of Petrobras, Jean Paul Prates, about the possibility of the state oil company studying the establishment of a subsidiary in the Middle East.

He stressed: “This question should be directed to him, as I was not informed about the intention to create a Petrobras in the mentioned region.”

It was announced on Thursday by the Minister of Natural Resources, Alexandre Silveira, the invitation for Brazil to join the Opec+, a coalition made up of 23 oil-producing countries, formed by the members of Opec and other partner nations. He indicated that the country will likely accept the invitation.

Lula Advocates Brazil’s Participation in the Opec+ for Energy Transition

The day before, Lula made a statement advocating Brazil’s participation in the Opec+ with the aim of persuading oil-producing countries to carry out the energy transition and prepare for the end of the use of fossil fuels.

On Sunday, he reiterated the need to reduce the use of fossil fuels but emphasized the importance of creating alternatives. He stated that Brazil’s possible participation in the Opec+ could result in the allocation of resources from oil-producing countries to assist poorer nations in Africa, America, and Asia, highlighting that it is necessary to allocate “a little of the money” for this cause.

“There is no discrepancy, Brazil will never become an effective member of the Opec, now what we wish is to have influence,” Lula stated at a press conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, during his participation in COP28, the UN climate conference.

“The name is so elegant that just by being elegant Brazil could join, Opec Plus, but perhaps as an observer. An observer goes to listen, to express opinion and why is it important for Brazil to participate? Brazil is an observer of the G7,” he emphasized.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva stated last Sunday, the 3rd, that Brazil will never officially be part of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec), even if it joins the Opec+ as an observer to exert influence.

Lula denied there is a contradiction between the possibility of Brazil participating in the Opec+ and the environmental preservation policies and transition to green energy advocated by his government.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In China, even those who beg on the street already have a QR Code, paper money has practically disappeared from daily life in just ten years, and the entire country has come to live on invisible payments via mobile phones.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.

A new 3D printing technology promises to give robots muscles similar to humans.

China pours concrete for 60 hours non-stop to form the largest caisson in the world on a highway bridge over the Yangtze and prepare the base that will support a 1,600-meter span over one of the most important rivers on the planet.
