Alone, The Wind Turbine Can Generate More Than 74 Million Kilowatt-Hours Of Electricity Every Year

The project is signed by China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) Haizhuang and covers an area of 53,000 square meters, according to the Daily Mail. The area is equivalent to the size of seven football fields, and one of the blades of the offshore wind turbine is 128 meters long.

To give an idea of its power, the offshore turbine can power up to 40,000 homes over an entire year, with its 18 megawatts. Under full wind speed, the structure generates up to 44.8 kilowatt-hours of electricity, which means a single turbine can generate more than 74 million kilowatt-hours of electricity every year.

New Wind Turbine Provides A Sustainable Source Of Energy

According to CSSC Haizhuang, large-scale wind energy supply can reduce coal consumption by 25,000 tons and carbon dioxide emissions by 61,000 tons per year. In the statement, the company claims that “the turbine is capable of reducing the cost of wind farms and establishing a solid foundation for the development of the offshore wind industry.” Furthermore, CSSC Haizhuang states that for the higher output of this turbine, 13% fewer units would be needed to generate 1GW of electricity than if the previous model, with 16 MW, were installed.

In Addition To Protecting The Environment, The Offshore Turbine Seems Friendly To The Wallets Of The Chinese

According to the article from Globo.com, the wind energy company did not disclose exactly how much it cost to build the wind turbine. However, engineers claim that it will save over 100 million yuan in costs of other constructions, which is equivalent to 75 million reais.

CSSC Haizhuang claims to have “mastered the key technologies of high-power offshore wind turbines” and “led the global offshore wind energy industry to reach a new milestone” with its new wind turbine model. In addition, the project is expected to ensure that China reaches its goal of becoming a carbon-neutral country by 2060.

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.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.

Oil at the center of global disputes and historical transformations

Brazil already has the largest electric buses in daily operation in the world: Goiânia has put 28-meter giants from Volvo on the streets to transform urban transport, placing the country at the center of a new showcase for urban mobility.

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.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
