Sumitomo Chemical has gained prominence in recent years for its investment in wind energy. The Japanese giant is now considered one of the most important companies in the world when it comes to chemistry. In Brazil, the company focuses more on agriculture, animal nutrition, and environmental health. Due to its excellent work in sustainability in Brazil, it has been internationally recognized for its actions in renewable energy and environmental policies.

Wind Energy: Sumitomo Invests in Sustainability

The Japanese company won the I-REC award, an international renewable energy certificate granted by the Renewable Energy Certificate Standard. The entity conducts an analysis of companies that have a strong commitment to sustainability around the globe. The industrial complex of Sumitomo Chemical is located in Maracanaú, Ceará. In 2020, the company renewed its energy matrix project.

The company signed a contract with Enel Green Power, substituting its demand with renewable energy. As a result, the industrial complex is now supplied with an impressive 90% wind energy, with 10% from thermoelectric/hydroelectric sources. This change is significant compared to the past, where 65% was hydroelectric and 35% thermoelectric. Consequently, the environment will be less impacted by non-renewable energy sources.

The provided wind energy has a generation capacity of 2,150 MWh. This amount is sufficient to meet the demand of Sumitomo Chemical. Pedro Tagliari, Director of Supply Chain and Operations at the company, stated that the changes in the company, using renewable energy, are part of the new sustainability policy of the company: ”One of our goals is to promote the concept of sustainability aligned with business strategies, in addition to contributing to the preservation of natural resources by offering responsible solutions in the work we do for society”.

Company Policy Considering the Environment

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.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

China opens the world’s first school where more than 100 humanoid robots from different brands will study together, each movement will be repeated up to 600 times a day and the data will feed a collective brain that will teach all the robots of the future.

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.

An illegal mountain of waste 6 meters high and 10,000 tons has emerged in England, threatens to catch fire, could cost millions to remove, and exposes how illegal dumping has become a business for criminals.

Speed radar installed in a hidden village in the Dolomites becomes the protagonist of a million-dollar revenue and places small Italian towns at the center of a national controversy.

While the world rushes to mine lithium from Congo and Chile, Brazil sits on one of the largest reserves and has barely begun to explore.

While Japan is seen as a global symbol of cleanliness, entire houses taken over by garbage expose loneliness, aging, and a legal barrier that prevents quick actions by municipalities.
