After The Petrochemical Industry Reduces Energy Consumption At The Bahia Plant, Braskem Wants To Expand Its Energy Efficiency In Other States

Braskem, operating in the chemical and petrochemical sector, wants to invest and expand its energy efficiency program in the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Alagoas, and Rio Grande do Sul, after reducing electricity consumption at its plant in the Camaçari Complex in Bahia. The company invested R$ 65 million and reduced 833 GWh.

In the process of improving energy utilization at the Camaçari plant, ten energy-saving measures were implemented, mainly for digital operation and optimizing the energy used by the furnaces of the units, as these equipment are the ones that need the most electricity at the plant.

The project’s initiative has two objectives: on one hand, to generate financial savings for the company; on the other, to help meet the goal of reducing carbon emissions by 15% by 2030. By 2050, the company aims to achieve zero emissions. Gustavo Checcucci, Director of Energy at Braskem, says, “We are structuring projects for efficiency at each of our sites throughout this decade.”

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.

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.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

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.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

In Japan, a 40 by 60-meter concrete museum without pillars rises like a floating drop, allowing wind, light, and rain inside the space and surprising architects and engineers with the delicacy of the structure.

The sea has stopped just warming and has started pushing storms towards the continent: marine heatwaves are already entering the path of up to 25% of extreme coastal rains and can increase storms by 30%, worsening floods on the coast.

While traditional constructions rely on tons of concrete to support weight, in England an abandoned site was converted into transparent hexagonal domes, combining lightweight engineering and mine repurposing, transforming the landscape and local tourism.

The bridge that collapsed in seconds after being hit by a ship in Baltimore will be reborn as a cable-stayed bridge: Maryland signed $4.8 billion in four contracts for a 508-meter span specifically designed to withstand the impact of a giant cargo ship.

End of the tape measure, marking line, and subfloor error: robot prints the project directly on the construction site floor, creates layout up to 10 times faster, and marks 10,000 to 15,000 square feet per day with one person.
