The President Of Petrobras Stated In A Recent Lecture That He Plans To Focus On Offshore Wind Energy Production In The State. For Jean Paul Prates, This Is The Great Bet For The Growth Of Rio Grande Do Norte In The Coming Years.

In a recent lecture last Friday, (02/24), at the Federation of Industries of Rio Grande do Norte (Fiern), the new president of Petrobras commented on the next steps of the company in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Jean Paul Prates emphasized that the offshore frontier is the focus of the state-owned company in the region, especially the production of offshore wind energy. Green hydrogen projects are also on the company’s radar to be developed in the coming years.

The new president of Petrobras, Jean Paul Prates, announced in a recent visit to Rio Grande do Norte that the offshore frontier is the company’s destination, and it is already working on this for the coming years.

He delivered a lecture at an event held to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Federation of Industries of Rio Grande do Norte (Fiern), at the organization’s headquarters located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte.

With the progress of Petrobras’s divestment project during the Bolsonaro Government, the expectation was that the company would exit various strategic regions of Northeast Brazil, including RN.

However, during his last visit to the state, Jean Paul Prates announced the suspension of the scheduled transfers and preparations for the sale of assets in the Potiguar Basin.

He also mentioned that the state would host one of the company’s renewable energy directorates in the coming months.

“Those in RJ today, 99% of people only talk about oil, pre-salt. How is this individual going to think about offshore wind energy? There is no ecosystem for it. What I am trying to bring to the company, and this is subject to approvals, is that in each place there should be an ecosystem for something that Petrobras does or should do,” he emphasized.

Thus, Petrobras’s investments, under the leadership of Jean Paul Prates, in offshore wind energy projects are becoming increasingly close to reality in RN.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

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.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

The construction of houses with cement wood blocks is surprising workers; it uses a direct fitting system without complications and can make the work up to 100 times faster than the conventional method.

The government announces a new clinical research program and outlines how the amount of R$120 million in investments will be distributed among hospitals and universities of the SUS.

Cities in the United States are slowly sinking, and the reason behind the ground subsidence may surprise even experts as buildings, streets, and entire neighborhoods begin to give way without visible signs.

Two restaurants in Brazil achieve the highest rating in the Michelin Guide and elevate the country to a new level of fine dining.

China inaugurates a new era by signing a $5.1 billion project to expand one of the largest gas fields on the planet, adding 10 billion m³ per year and reinforcing an energy mechanism that already moves 30 billion m³ annually towards its market.

With 5.6 trillion tons of natural hydrogen beneath the Earth, 26 times the known oil and more energy than all the natural gas in the world, the new gold rush is already mobilizing Bill Gates, Amazon, and Petrobras.

U.S. researchers publish the first national map of natural hydrogen, placing 30 states on the radar and changing what was known about clean energy in the American underground.

Solar-powered ice factory in the Amazon that eliminated a 5-hour trip to Manaus, prevents the loss of up to two-thirds of the fish, and now ensures income for more than 30 riverside families.

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.
