Scatec Signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Wednesday (9) with Equinor and Hydro for the Purpose of Simultaneous Development of a 480 MW Solar Power Plant.

With a focus on solar energy and a well-developed balanced reference, the renewable energy niche in Brazil has significant long-term potential. Based on this, Scatec and Equinor are simultaneously developing a portfolio of projects in Brazil and currently have a solar power plant of 162 MW in operation.

According to Terje Pilskog, Partnership Between Hydro and Equinor Promises to Yield Good Fruits

According to Terje Pilskog, EVP Project Development & Project Finance at Scatec, said: “We are pleased to enter into this partnership with Hydro and Equinor, and we believe it will be a fruitful synergy. We all have mutual interests in cooperating and developing this solar energy project, combining Scatec and Equinor’s experience in large-scale renewable energy projects with Hydro’s strong expertise in energy markets and its demand for clean and economical energy in Brazil.”

Hydro’s intention is to ensure that by 2030, at least 30% of CO2 emissions are reduced in its operations, with most of this reduction coming from Brazil.

The MoU provides a basis for the project to be carried out at a site already defined in Rio Grande do Norte, by Scatec and Equinor. The MoU offers joint ownership and project development by all three parties and the withdrawal of part of the production by Hydro. Subject to final agreement, the companies aim to reach an investment decision by mid-2021.

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.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

The SUS waiting list for surgeries has more people than the entire population of six countries.

Brazilians spend more hours in traffic each year than on vacation.

São Paulo and the Atacama are at the same latitude: what separates a metropolis of 22 million people from a desert is a forest 3,000 km away.

USP technology was used by NASA in Artemis II.

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.
