Abeeólica Has Projections for the Start of Offshore Energy Production with the Installation of Wind Farms at Sea for the Year 2030, and Until Then, Companies Are Awaiting New Regulations Regarding Projects Under Development

According to projections from the Brazilian Wind Energy Association (Abeeólica) for this Wednesday, (06/01), offshore wind farms are expected to begin operations around the year 2030. Currently, several companies are awaiting regulations regarding wind energy production at sea, and with the delivery of the expected rules for the year 2022, they will be able to continue their offshore wind farm construction projects.

Offshore wind energy production, also known as offshore, is the latest bet of the energy sector for the coming years along the Brazilian coast, due to its high energy generation potential. However, according to Elbia Gannoum, president of Abeeólica, the start of operations for wind farms may take some time, and the executive believes that, for at least the next 7 years, there will not yet be an operating offshore venture in the country.

The president of Abeeólica further emphasizes: “We expect the regulation this year and, therefore, I believe that the first electricity auction for the offshore segment should take place in 2023. From then on, companies will need between five and seven years to build an offshore wind facility.”

Offshore Wind Farms Are the New Bet of the Energy Sector for the Future of the Production Market in Brazil

Between 2020 and 2021 alone, the additional capacity for offshore wind energy worldwide more than tripled, increasing from 6 GW to 21 GW, and as a result, the national market now sees the benefits of these ventures.

As such, Abeeólica now sees a strong future outlook for the sector in Brazil, especially after the publication of Decree 10.946, which addresses the assignment of physical spaces and the utilization of natural resources at sea for offshore electricity generation.

This is mainly due to the strong winds along the Brazilian coast, where offshore projects have observed an average capacity factor of 41% in different regions of the country, higher than the average of 36% for onshore projects. Additionally, integration with the oil sector is also one of the attractions for companies that are considering the installation of offshore wind farms in Brazil.

Now, companies and Abeeólica are awaiting regulations regarding the projects, expected to be delivered in 2022, and they hope for a future of strong investments and financial applications in the Brazilian market.

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.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

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.

Three sailors were injured after a fire broke out on the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower at a shipyard in the USA.

Goodbye to the invisible waste of the home: intelligent systems now combine thermostat, lighting, plugs, and energy monitor into a single platform capable of automating devices, displaying real-time consumption, and operating with standby of up to 0.5 to 1 watt on key devices.

It passed by Earth 170,000 years ago when our ancestors lived in caves and has now returned — a rare comet is visible to the naked eye in the sky this April and may never return again…

A brand that has been manufacturing motorcycles since 1901 launches its first electric model, and the price shocked the world: $3,000, weighing only 124 kg and accelerating from 0 to 60 km/h in 3.7 seconds…

Researcher found bones in rock on a Korean island and X-rays revealed a new species of baby dinosaur with feathers that hadn’t been seen in 15 years — scientists named it after a cartoon character…

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.
