Oceanographer David Zee from Uerj Is Concerned About the Lack of Oil Containment Actions and Sees a High Chance of Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro Being Affected.

Researchers from Coppe/UFRJ will investigate which areas of the country may be affected by oil that is spreading along the Northeast coast. Ibama Requested Clarifications from Shell About Oil Barrels Found on Beaches in Sergipe; the Material Found Inside the Barrels Is the Same Oil That Hit Northeastern Beaches in Recent Weeks.

Carina Bock, a researcher at the Computational Methods Laboratory at Coppe/UFRJ, informs “Considering the points where oil was located, an inverse modeling work was done. Based on hydrodynamic conditions, we calculated the oil’s trajectory back in time to try to find its source,”

The Petrobras has completed one month of permanent support to Ibama in the efforts to clean beaches affected by oil in the Northeast. Since September 12, the company has collected more than 200 tons of oil (a mixture of oil and sand).

In total, Petrobras has mobilized about 1700 environmental agents to clean the impacted areas and more than 50 employees for planning and executing the response.

Five Environmental Defense Centers (CDA) and nine Emergency Response Centers were also activated. The CDAs are Petrobras facilities strategically distributed across various regions of the country to complement the oil spill emergency response resources of the company’s operational units.

In addition to the CDAs, each unit has equipment and resources for immediate response in its Emergency Response Centers. This structure ensures the timing, resources, and response capacity of the installations managed by the company.

53 Companies Explore Oil in Brazil, and Only Petrobras Collects Oil in the Northeast, Says Political Scientist; They Are:

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

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.

This technology could retire washboards and regular washing machines: Xiaomi launches a three-drum washer with an automatic detergent dosing system, washes clothes at 95°C simultaneously, prevents cross-contamination, and costs less than R$ 3,000 in China.

In a country where about 75% of the territory is mountainous and little land is left for planting, Japan has turned scarcity into luxury, selling pairs of Yubari melons for amounts that reached nearly US$ 45,000 and cultivating the true wasabi that 90% of the world has never tasted.

Abandoned boars and pigs in Fukushima create fast-breeding hybrids and turn the nuclear area into a natural laboratory

A bi-oceanic railway is expected to connect the Brazilian coast to the Chinese port of Chancay in Peru and cross the South American continent from coast to coast. It is part of the same package of R$ 140 billion in railways that the government is opening to investors later this year.

Japan is about to launch a satellite that captures solar energy in space and sends electricity to Earth in the form of microwaves. The technology promises to generate energy 24 hours a day without relying on clouds, night, or solar panels on the ground.

Taller than the Statue of Liberty, thousands of wind turbines are being planted in the middle of U.S. fields, creating two-story farms where corn and soybeans grow below while the wind turns into electricity above.

Volkswagen trucks hit the track in a comparison between the Meteor 29.530, designed for operations up to 74 tons, and the Constellation 20.480, which relies on 480 horsepower for those seeking robustness in a 4×2 tractor unit.
