Project Presented on Friday, 6, Introduced Energy Generation Through Water Flow, Thus Providing a 100% Oil and Gas Free Source

The city of Macaé, in Rio de Janeiro, has become a national reference in the development of energy production proposals, whether derived from oil and gas or from renewable sources. The city is now developing the energy generation project through horizontal water flow, which is being planned by the company John Cockerill. This project was presented on the 6th to the mayor of Macaé, Welberth Rezende, and to the secretaries of Economic Development, Rodrigo Vianna, and Environment, Juninho Luna.

The renewable energy production plant will be capable of generating approximately 2 megawatts of energy, however, the prototype still needs to go through the testing phase in January in the city of Macaé. The test has the authorization of INEA (State Institute of Environment).

According to the mayor of Macaé: “We are indeed the city that proposes discussions of projects that promote the energy transition, created by professionals and companies dedicated to innovation and sustainability. And the most important thing is that these turbines will be produced in Macaé, establishing a new profile for our economic development.”

Oil and Gas Free Plant

The project being developed for the city of Macaé, without using oil and gas, will produce 100% renewable energy and it is already being sought after by companies abroad in Africa and Portugal. During its assembly phase, the oil and gas free turbine will still include some parts manufactured in Belgium.

As Marcelo Amado, manager of John Cockerill’s Macaé unit states: “The partnership with the city hall is essential to make the production of this project feasible at our base in Macaé. We will start the testing phase this month and our expectation is that the turbines will be available on the market by December.”

The prototype presentation of the turbine also featured participation from Hudson Azevedo, commercial coordinator for the oil and gas segment at Sika.

China began working on 6G in 2019 when commercial 5G barely existed and now leads the world in patents for a technology that promises speeds 100 times greater, and no country wants to be left out.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state wants to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

‘Interlocking brick’ made of earth arrives in the construction industry with cost reductions of up to 40% on the project.

Fiat retired the ‘unbreakable’ engine that runs over 300,000 km after 40 years, but the models remain among the best-selling in Brazil.

Around 500,000 abandoned coal mines could be turned into giant batteries using only sand and gravity, studies indicate a potential of up to 70 TWh of storage, with China, India, and the USA concentrating enough capacity to power entire cities without needing to build anything new.

The government has made a decision and is starting a test with more ethanol in gasoline, anticipating a mixture of up to 35%, diesel with 25% biodiesel, and a study to assess the impacts on engines.
