Danish Vestas Chooses Rio Grande do Norte to Launch Unprecedented Professional Qualification Program in Renewable Energy.

The Danish multinational Vestas, a global reference in renewable energy solutions, has chosen Rio Grande do Norte to implement its first professional qualification program in Brazil aimed exclusively at the wind sector. The decision reinforces the state’s leading role, which accounts for 28.9% of national wind energy generation, according to company data.

Practical Class at 756 MW Complex Marks Start of Training

The technical training is conducted in partnership with SENAI-RN and lasts for two years. The course is free and aimed at residents of communities near the parks operated by Vestas in Brazil.

The first class consists of 66 students from Lagoa Nova and surrounding areas, who have already participated in practical activities at the Serra do Tigre Wind Complex, located in São Tomé (RN).

In addition to the training, Vestas announced a package of initiatives aimed at strengthening the renewable energy sector in Brazil, including domestic production of high-tech turbines and partnerships to stimulate the supply chain.

The proposal aligns with the International Labour Organization (ILO) estimate, which predicts 38 million jobs in the clean energy sector by 2030.

In Brazil, 10% of global green jobs are already concentrated, placing the country as the second largest employer in the sector worldwide.

Recent studies also reveal that the presence of wind farms has generated significant economic impacts: Brazilian municipalities with this type of investment have seen an average increase of 24.98% in per capita GDP, reaching 29.14% in the Northeast.

Interior of RN is an Example of Transformation through Renewable Energy

With the arrival of the training program, young people from communities like Lagoa Nova now envision a promising future in the renewable energy sector.

The free technical training, combined with direct contact with large-scale projects, represents not only an entry point into the job market but also a development alternative for the interior of Potiguar.

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.

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.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.

Wind farm in Namibia will have wind turbines assembled without giant cranes and is expected to avoid 200,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year when it becomes operational.

Taller than the Statue of Liberty, thousands of wind turbines are being planted in the middle of U.S. fields, creating two-story farms where corn and soybeans grow below while the wind turns into electricity above.

Dongfang breaks world record and manufactures 26 MW wind turbine in China with 137-meter blades that spin so slowly they appear stationary on the horizon.

China installs the world’s largest floating wind turbine offshore with a 252-meter rotor and a swept area equivalent to 7 football fields.
