Growth In Wind Energy Investment Was Already Being Felt In 2022

At The End Of 2022, Vestas Announced Incoming Orders Of 2.63 GW For The Fourth Quarter Of 2022. In The Same Quarter Of 2021, It Recorded 2.86 GW Of Announced And Unannounced Orders. As The Year End Approached, Vestas’ Total Order Book For 2022 Was 9.62 GW.

In 2021, OEMs Recorded A Volume Of 13.9 GW. Vestas’ CEO, Henrik Andersen, Stated In The November Third Quarter Results That Pressure On The Wind Industry Had Not Eased As He Cut The OEM’s Financial Outlook For 2022.

What Will The Largest Wind Project In Latin America Produce?

Wind Energy Is The Transformation Of Wind Energy Into Useful Energy, Such As Using Wind Turbines To Generate Electricity, Windmills To Produce Mechanical Energy Or Sails To Propel Sailboats.

Today, Wind Energy Can Be Directed To Provide Some Or Many Useful Tasks Such As: Water Pumping, Electricity Generation, Heating, Etc. Let’s Examine Some Of These Tasks In More Detail. Pumping Water Is A Primary Use Of Wind Energy.

Just Like Hydropower, Wind Energy Has Been Used For Thousands Of Years For The Same Purposes, Namely: Water Pumping, Grain Milling, And Other Applications Involving Mechanical Energy.

What Will The Largest Wind Project In Latin America Produce?

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.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

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.

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.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

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.

Factory that exported to more than 50 countries will be demolished in Santa Catarina, former Cecrisa pavilions make way for a R$ 200 million innovation park, ending the industrial era that put Criciúma on the world ceramics map.

Plastering without secrets: bricklayer reveals the plaster mix that uses 5 parts sand to 1 part cement and shows how to achieve a good consistency without needing an additive.

The Brazilian Army has just unveiled a silent arsenal of drones armed with rifles, grenade launchers, and nuclear sensors capable of operating nearly 300 km away, and this is just a preview of what will be showcased in Rio in the coming months with 33 companies.

The exodus of Brazilian industries to Paraguay is already changing the logistics of the South, putting pressure on BR-277, shifting cargo between ports, and raising an alert about competitiveness in the country.

While SpaceX and Boeing compete for billion-dollar NASA contracts, Turkey has begun constructing a spaceport in Somalia to launch rockets near the equator and transform the Horn of Africa’s coastline into a strategic shortcut to reach space by 2028.

At 4,400 meters of altitude in the Himalayas, where the air is so thin it makes breathing difficult, India’s state oil company drilled a thousand meters of rock to reach a 240-degree subsoil and set up the country’s first geothermal plant.

An “invisible” plant can transform rivers meeting the sea into electricity 24 hours a day: French startup uses nanotechnology to extract energy from the salt difference between fresh and saltwater, without sun, wind, dam, or fuel.
