Shell Will Soon Enter Brazil’s Offshore Wind Energy Market, Said Country Manager André Araujo in a Webinar.

André Araujo, President of Shell Brazil, on the Offshore Wind Energy Market Yesterday (02): “At this moment, we are focusing on creating a group in the solar energy market, but I am in direct contact with our offshore wind group and we have discussed the fact that Brazil cannot be left out of this journey. So it’s just a matter of time,” said Araújo during a webinar organized by the Brazil-England Chamber of Commerce this Wednesday.

Shell is already investing in offshore wind energy outside of Latin America, mainly in the United States and the North Sea. In Brazil, however, the company has focused on oil and gas exploration and production, with over 32 contracts, 21 of which as operator, in the Campos, Santos, Barreirinhas, Espírito Santo, and Potiguar basins.

Precursor for Offshore Wind Energy Projects

Brazil is expected to become the first country in Latin America to Attract Investments in Offshore Wind Energy. Several oil companies, including Shell, with offshore activities in the country are eyeing the market. Last month, Norway’s Equinor initiated an environmental licensing process with the regulator Ibama to develop a 4GW offshore wind project in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Total and Enauta stated last year that they are interested in similar projects.

The most volcanic moon in the Solar System shoots jets of lava over 400 km high, has more than 400 active volcanoes, and supplies Jupiter with a plasma ring that reaches temperatures of up to 100,000°C while redefining the boundaries of geological activity beyond Earth.

Oil returns to the center of global strategy with Repsol’s resurgence in Venezuela.

The backhoe digs a large pool at 6 meters and opens a giant water fountain: sand rises from the bottom, drains with pipes and gravel hold, and the flow reaches 110 thousand liters per hour, nonstop.
