The Wind Farms of the Northeast, Especially in Rio Grande do Norte, Were Considered “Oases of Wind for the World” in Analysis by the SENAI Institute of Innovation in Renewable Energies (ISI-ER)

The capacity of the onshore wind farms in Brazil’s Northeast surpassed the total of seven European countries in 2021, according to an analysis by the SENAI Institute of Innovation in Renewable Energies (ISI-ER). The analysis was conducted through comparisons between data from the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) and a report released by WindEurope at the end of February. The production of the wind farms in Rio Grande do Norte managed to exceed the production of wind farms in 12 European countries individually.

According to data released by Aneel, 3.7 Gigawatts (GW) were released last year for commercial operation in wind farms in Brazil, in the states of Bahia, Ceará, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí, and Rio Grande do Norte. In comparison, the total of the European countries (Denmark, Spain, Finland, Norway, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine) released 3.6 GW in 2021.

Rio Grande do Norte produced 40.54% of the national total, with 1.5 GW released in 2021. This amount already surpasses that of 12 European countries individually, being exceeded only by Germany (1.9 GW) and Sweden (2.1 GW), according to ISI-ER’s analysis. According to Amaro Sales de Araújo, president of the FIERN System, Rio Grande do Norte stands out at the national and global levels in clean energy production, bringing great possibilities in its energy matrix, between solar and wind, to become the largest energy producer in the world. According to Sales, the expectation is that a large amount of energy can increasingly contribute to the development of Rio Grande do Norte and Brazil.

Strategic Position of Rio Grande do Norte

According to Rodrigo Mello, director of ISI-ER, the strategic position of Brazil and Rio Grande do Norte, already recognized worldwide, is reinforced by the globe. Rodrigo notes that Brazil, and particularly the Brazilian Northeast in the case of wind energy, is increasingly characterized as one of the main hubs for clean energy production. He adds that the world is facing an energy problem and undoubtedly the expansion of international energy availability goes through Brazilian Northeast, through clean energy.

Furthermore, Rodrigo mentions the war between Russia and Ukraine, which reflects in the energy sector, from the soaring gas prices to the Russian threat to cut energy supply to the European continent, aiming to respond to Western markets that suspended imports from Russia, especially oil and gas.

“This Eastern European conflict has as one of its main characteristics the energy motivation, the energy supply of Europe. So it is clear to society how strategic this issue is and that inevitably Brazil will play an important role in the international energy solution,” analyzes the director of ISI-ER.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

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.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

With 5.6 trillion tons of natural hydrogen beneath the Earth, 26 times the known oil and more energy than all the natural gas in the world, the new gold rush is already mobilizing Bill Gates, Amazon, and Petrobras.

U.S. researchers publish the first national map of natural hydrogen, placing 30 states on the radar and changing what was known about clean energy in the American underground.

Solar-powered ice factory in the Amazon that eliminated a 5-hour trip to Manaus, prevents the loss of up to two-thirds of the fish, and now ensures income for more than 30 riverside families.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.
