Copel has been conducting private auctions and has been active in Brazil’s energy market, attracting strong investor interest amid uncertainties about the pace of official government auctions for new energy projects, as the coronavirus pandemic has reduced electricity demand.

According to Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia, with this contract the company reaches 1.9 GW of developed projects in the cluster. For the executive, the contract with Copel reaffirms the quality of the wind and solar cluster, attracting those who wish to purchase clean energy.

Voltalia announced in the first quarter of 2020 the closing of deals with Copel and the petrochemical Braskem for the construction of new plants in Brazil.

Last month, the French company also announced a contract to develop, construct, and operate a wind farm in Brazil that will supply all production to the Japanese group TODA in the construction sector.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Oil drives Brazil’s GDP and repositions the country among the largest economies in the world.

Science discovers that the air is not empty as it seems, but rather a gigantic natural archive that stores DNA of animals, plants, and humans without anyone noticing.

Ocean warming spikes in 2026 even without El Niño, approaches the record of 2024, and raises global alarm with the Arctic at its lowest ice level and an energy imbalance of the Earth at its highest in 65 years.

The seven-blade propeller could equip the M700 FURY aircraft, making it quieter and more efficient, after certification from EASA.

Corn outside the window may dry out in May and June: rain will only last until the end of April, El Niño is still uncertain, and three waves of polar air may bring strong frosts as early as the second half of May.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
