More Thermoelectric Plants, Reactivation of Petrobras Terminals in the Northeast, and Energy Overcoming Caused by the Water Crisis Depend on LNG Terminals to be Installed in the Country

The state of Santa Catarina requested the ANP to prioritize the analysis of New Fortress Energy’s request for authorization for the Sul Gas Terminal for LNG, according to BNamericas. State authorities claim that the project will increase the supply of natural gas in the southern regions, which is urgent due to the energy crisis the country is facing and even the resumption of some Petrobras operations.

The terminal will have a regasification capacity of 15Mm3/d (million cubic meters per day) and is scheduled to come online in the first quarter of 2022. With several major hydroelectric reservoirs at low levels amid the worst drought in over 90 years, Brazil relies on all its thermoelectric capacity, including natural gas plants.

What Is at Stake for Petrobras?

This has put local gas supply under pressure, prompting the government to reactivate the LNG terminal of the state-owned oil and gas company Petrobras, at the Port of Pecém, in the state of Ceará.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

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.

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.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

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.

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.

In Brazil, a condominium threatens to fine a resident who puts a Brazilian flag on the balcony during the World Cup and election year.

Fishermen accidentally catch a 2.5-meter goblin shark at a depth of 900 meters in Gran Canaria and record one of the rarest creatures of the deep ocean still alive.

Scientists create “living” materials that crawl, walk, and dig on their own by transforming internal tension into movement, mimicking biological tissues without having real cells.

NR-1 obliges companies to pay attention to mental health at work and highlights the impact of abusive targets, exhausting work hours, and harassment on leaves due to psychological disorders.
