The Wind Energy Company Signed a Letter of Intent with the Government of the State of Rio Grande do Norte for the Implementation of a 624 MW Offshore Wind Project

Consisting of 52 wind turbines of 12 MW each, the installation of this new offshore wind energy project will cover an area of 300 square kilometers. The project includes two substations, one offshore and another onshore, the government said on Tuesday.

To be held in the municipalities of Touros, São Miguel do Gostoso, and Pedra Grande, the offshore wind energy project is expected to take two to three years to start, according to a previous statement from the head of BI Energia, Lucio Bomfim.

Currently, BI Energia is working on a EUR 1 billion (US$ 1.2 billion) offshore wind project in the state of Ceará. The company also plans to invest 5 billion reais in the offshore wind sector of Rio Grande do Norte, as previously announced.

About BI Energia

BI Energia is one of the pioneers in investing in offshore wind farms in Brazil. Currently, the company has a project in Ceará, which began in 2016, for the installation of 59 towers, at a cost of 1 billion euros. Business leaders expect that the experience with the project in Ceará will help expedite the process in Rio Grande do Norte.

The project for the Potiguar coast envisions a wind farm covering 300 km², with 52 wind turbines of 12 MW of installed power (totaling a park of 624 MW). Two electrical substations will also be constructed; one offshore for voltage elevation and one onshore for transition. According to the company, the expected wind energy production is forecasted at 3,154,805.6 MWh per year (3.1 thousand GWh/year).

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

Satellite images show that Brazil has shrunk by more than 2.5 million hectares of rivers and lakes in 40 years, and the Pantanal, which depends almost 100% on rain due to the lack of dams, was 56% below the historical average of water in 2025.

China activates a 35.6-tesla super magnet in Beijing, surpassing Earth’s magnetic field by 700,000 times and opening a new phase in the race for semiconductors, clean energy, and extreme science.

Between four giant rocks and without electricity, a stone house built in 1974 in the Serras de Fafe in Portugal impresses by using natural granite as the structure of the dwelling.

Stone tower in Scotland is over 2,000 years old, about 13 meters high, was built without mortar on a remote island, and still intrigues archaeologists about its true function.

Far beyond the melting ice in the Arctic, a study reveals that carbon hidden in deep layers of permafrost may escape sooner than expected and turn frozen soils into a new source of CO₂.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.
