BNDES Released Credit to Casa dos Ventos for Construction of Two Wind Farms Totaling 121.8 MW, Which Will Generate Several Jobs in RN

BNDES approved two loans for Casa dos Ventos, intended for the construction of two wind farms in Rio Grande do Norte (RN). The investment will be 417 million reais, creating 775 direct and indirect jobs. The installed capacity of these two wind farms will be 121.8 MW, enough energy to meet the consumption of 242 thousand households.

Wind Farms Rio do Vento:

The ventures are part of the Wind Farms that make up Rio do Vento, which is already in its first construction phase with 504 MW and will exceed the mark of 1 GW when fully commercialized, making it one of the largest wind farms in the world.

The wind energy generated by these two new farms in RN will prevent 1.3 million tons of carbon dioxide from being emitted and released into nature. To understand the benefits of pollution-free energy, research estimates that it would take 9 million trees to neutralize this amount of carbon dioxide.

Equipment Acquisitions:

Throughout the construction project of the wind farms, almost three-quarters of the resources financed by BNDES will be used for the purchase of national wind turbines – equipment that converts wind energy into electricity. Other investments will involve civil engineering construction, which will generate various jobs in the region, electromechanical systems, and related transmission lines.

The energy marketing strategy of Rio do Vento anticipates long-term contracts in the free energy market and may consider establishing a self-production system. This way, buyers of electricity in the free market have the option to acquire shares and become partners in energy generation companies. In addition to the free market, about 4% of the energy is traded in the regulated market.

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.

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.

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.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

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.

Equatorial Institute opens the 2nd edition of the Equatorial Journey notice with 300 free spots for training social organizations in seven Brazilian states.

At a depth of 4 kilometers, with 90-minute descents and heat exceeding 60 °C, an operation only continues to function thanks to the pumping of liquid ice: how far can the endurance of workers in the deepest mine on the planet go?

Researchers use artificial rays to transform natural gas into methanol and create cleaner fuel; the technology reduces emissions, utilizes wasted methane, and advances global sustainable energy solutions.

In Europe, sustainable urban mobility is gaining momentum with an ambitious plan to reduce carbon emissions from transportation by up to 90% by 2040.

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.
