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.

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.

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.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The number of Brazilian meatpacking plants with suspended meat sales to China rises to five, after the Chinese blocked the JBS unit in Vilhena due to the presence of hormones in the shipments, adding extra pressure on the sector on the eve of the 2026 export quota being exhausted.

How much does it cost to live with dignity in Brazil? A study found that in all 79 regions analyzed, the necessary salary was above the minimum of R$ 1,621. In São Paulo, a family of four needs R$ 6,155 per month.
