Port of Açu and Equinor Sign Memorandum of Understanding to Build Solar Plant in the Next 12 Months, Creating Many Jobs

The oil company Equinor signed a memorandum of understanding with the Brazilian private port Porto do Açu Operações to explore opportunities to develop a project for a photovoltaic solar plant in the next 12 months at the port’s facilities, potentially generating many jobs in the region. Don’t miss this opportunity, 100 THOUSAND SCHOLARSHIPS; at the end of the course, students can secure a job in large companies in Brazil

About Porto do Açu

Developed by Prumo Logística, controlled by EIG Global Energy Partners, Açu is the only fully private port in the country. In operation since 2014, it has become one of the largest and most important infrastructure complexes in the country: it has the second largest iron ore terminal in Brazil, is responsible for 25% of oil exports, and hosts the largest offshore support base in the world, in addition to establishing the main natural gas hub in Latin America through its subsidiary Gás Natural Açu (GNA).

By the end of 2020, GNA successfully completed the receipt of its first cargo of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) at its Regasification Terminal at Porto do Açu. This first cargo will be used for the commissioning of the terminal and the GNA I UTE. With 1.3 GW, equivalent to supplying more than 6 million homes, the plant will start operating in the first half of 2021.

Equinor Projects in Brazil

In renewables, Equinor has the first solar plant in the company’s global portfolio in Brazil – the Apodi Complex, located in Ceará, which has been in operation since 2018, with a capacity of 162 MW, providing energy to 200,000 Brazilian families.

The Norwegian Equinor also plans to develop a 480 MW solar project in Rio Grande do Norte with its compatriots Scatec Solar and Norsk Hydro.

Equinor Projects in Brazil

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.

Corn outside the window may dry out in May and June: rain will only last until the end of April, El Niño is still uncertain, and three waves of polar air may bring strong frosts as early as the second half of May.

The fifth Japanese brand tried to compete with Honda by offering more advanced motorcycles, including shaft drive and even V-twin engines. It shone on the tracks but failed in the mass market and was ultimately swallowed by its own rival.

It costs less than a Honda CG 160: The new motorcycle from Shineray has a 169.30 cc engine, 13.59 hp, 18-inch wheels, and costs R$ 13,490, excluding shipping; learn everything about the SHI 170.

China suspends meat imports from a slaughterhouse in Várzea Grande, and the market tries to panic: an analyst says that the ban is common, may affect only one batch, and does not lower cattle prices.

Goodbye classic tiles: solar tiles lead a sustainable European trend that transforms rooftops into sources of clean energy, reduces electricity costs, and redefines the future of modern construction on a global scale.

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.
