State-Owned Company Aims for 5 GW of Renewables by 2028. Investment in Wind and Solar, Photovoltaic Plants, Onshore and Offshore Wind, and Low-Carbon Hydrogen.

Petrobras has announced its plan to capture a 10% share of the centralized wind and solar energy market in Brazil by 2028, according to a presentation made for investors in New York this Tuesday (31/1). The 2024-2028 strategic plan of Petrobras aims to achieve approximately 5 GW of photovoltaic and wind capacity in operation or in construction phase.

To achieve its goals, the oil company plans to invest US$ 5.2 billion in renewable energies over the period. This investment is part of the significant increase in investments in low-carbon projects, which will receive US$ 11.5 billion, double the previous plan.

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

While a traditional school may take several days just to raise walls, in Malawi a 3D-printed school had its structure ready in 18 hours, welcomed children in June, and showed a new solution to the lack of classrooms.

Goodbye traditional washing machine: Panasonic surprises housewives with the NA-G5 featuring four drums, a 13 kg washer and dryer, a 12 kg dryer, independent mini washers, a heat pump, and a 4-in-1 system awarded at the German Design Award.

While cities spend fortunes patching potholes and tons of plastic become waste, the Netherlands transforms over 218,000 recycled cups into a modular bike path that can conceal drainage, cables, and pipes.

Empty beer bottle turns into sand, and the sand turns into concrete: an American city has discovered how to recycle glass locally using a solar-powered truck that crushes five tons of bottles per day in a local circular economy project.

Soot from rocket launches remains in the atmosphere for years and has a climate impact 540 times greater than pollution emitted near the Earth’s surface. Mega constellations like Starlink will account for 42% of the space sector’s climate impact by 2029.

Brazil and the USA create a working group to negotiate tariffs and end Section 301 after a meeting between Lula and Trump at the White House, and representatives from both countries have already met via videoconference with a 30-day deadline.

NASA plans a network of fuel stations in space that could reduce the cost of missions to the Moon and Mars. A satellite will be launched by a Rocket Lab rocket and will test technology that allows spacecraft to be refueled in orbit instead of carrying all the fuel from Earth.

Russia and China advance on a gas pipeline of more than 2,500 kilometers that will carry gas from Siberia to northern China; Putin’s visit to Beijing is also expected to result in an agreement to facilitate payments in ruble and yuan between the two countries.

Honda launches Elevate cheaper than Honda HR-V, Toyota Corolla Cross, Hyundai Creta, Jeep Compass, and Volkswagen Taos in Brazil, with a 1.5 i-VTEC engine of 121 hp, manual or CVT transmission, and Honda Sensing; SUV shows a simpler, more rational, and accessible global Honda in India.
