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.

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.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

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.

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.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

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.

Almost 10,000 km/h, 110,000 feet altitude, and New York–Paris in less than an hour: Venus Aerospace tests a rotating detonation engine and aims to transform the Stargazer into a reusable Mach 9 hypersonic plane, but still needs to prove that the promise moves beyond the prototype.

Air bubbles from 3 million years ago extracted from Antarctic ice reveal that the current level of CO₂ has already surpassed that of the ancient, warm world, when the sea was up to 20 meters higher and there were no factories or cars burning fuel.

Brazil went to China to seek money and technology to reinvent TV and bring the internet to places where fiber does not reach. The mission negotiated with the BRICS Bank led by Dilma and paved the way for a Chinese rival of Starlink to connect the Amazon.

About 150 workers are driving, one by one, 4,585 BYD electric cars off a 220-meter ship at the Port of Itajaí. The 48-hour mega-operation is the largest shipment from the Chinese automaker in Santa Catarina this year.
