US$ 10 Million Has Already Been Invested in the Newest Ambitious Venture of the Port of Açu That Is Under Discussion

The Port of Açu is one of the most audacious and visionary port complexes in recent times in Brazil, and there is no doubt about it. Now it wants to go further and install its own oil refinery within the venture. This is not speculation; in fact, its partner from Belgium has already invested an amount of US$ 10 million to move the project forward, in exchange for increasing its stake in the future venture.

It is worth remembering that the Port of Açu is located in the city of São João da Barra, in the North of the State of Rio de Janeiro, and was conceived by businessman Eike Batista at the time, who was responsible for LLX. After some time, LLX changed and became Prumo Logística, which is a subsidiary of EIG (an American group). José Magela, who is currently the president of Prumo, was interviewed and revealed that the Port of Açu is ready to be expanded in an unprecedented way, and the oil and gas industry is its flagship in this endeavor.

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.

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.

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.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Xiaomi innovates once again and introduces a giant 620-liter refrigerator, silent compressor, 99.99% antibacterial technology, integrated Wi-Fi, 18 internal compartments, and a surprising price equivalent to R$ 1,840 in China.

Cameras capture meteor shining near the erupting Mayon volcano, and the footage surprises even those who monitor extreme phenomena.

Costing less than a basic new car, Volkswagen’s turbo sedan has a 1.4 TSI engine with 150 hp, a range that can exceed 700 km, a 510-liter trunk, and premium finish that still attracts attention in the used car market.

Europe discovers “urban mine” with lithium hidden in electronics, used batteries, and old turbines, and could recover more than 55,000 tons per year by 2050.

Viaduct used every day by cars, buses, and pedestrians in the center of a São Paulo city becomes a legal case after a report indicates “imminent danger,” cracks, corrosion, and high lethality risk.
