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 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

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.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

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.

At 625 meters above the ground and with a span of 1,420 meters between mountains, China inaugurated the highest bridge in the world — and the 2-hour journey now takes 2 minutes.

A neighboring country of Brazil starts to profit billions from oil after the war in Iran, sees its economy grow at an unusual pace, and enters a silent dilemma that few countries can resolve without a crisis.

War in Iran complicates the situation, the government is considering holding back gasoline prices, and the new minister says that if necessary, the country may even go into more debt to protect families.
