Most Wind Farms Will Become Hybrid, It’s a Great Combination – Rynning-Tønnesen. New Constructions, Hybrid Projects and Strategy Will Increase Efficiency on the Lines.

Statkraft is looking into potential investments in Brazil in green hydrogen (H2V) and biofuels, as well as considering converting all wind generation projects in the country to hybrids, with associated solar photovoltaic generation. According to the company’s global CEO, Christian Rynning-Tønnesen, the company sees hydrogen as an extension of renewable electricity.

‘In the future, the world will need molecules, not just electricity. And these molecules should be predominantly hydrogen’, declared the CEO during his recent visit to Brazil.

Renewable Energy and Investment Potential in Brazil

Statkraft is starting the construction of its first hydrogen projects in Europe, but the idea is to replicate the model in Brazil in the future. According to the executive, the investment strategy should focus on expanding the company’s portfolio in potential investments in solar photovoltaic and biofuels, areas where Brazil excels globally.

Growth Through Mergers and Acquisitions in the Energy Sector in Brazil

In recent years, Statkraft has made a series of acquisitions as part of its growth strategy in Brazil, establishing itself as one of the largest wind generators in the country, with an installed capacity of 2.23 GW. The expectation is that the company will continue to expand through acquisitions and new constructions of hybrid and renewable projects.

The company is focusing on the Brazilian renewable energy market, particularly on land-based wind energy, due to the country’s significant potential in this sector. Financial capacity is being directed towards new constructions and smaller acquisitions to ensure sustainable growth in the Brazilian renewable energy market.

Importance of Brazil as a Priority Partner in the Transition to Renewable Energies

Brazil is already seen as a priority partner for decarbonization actions and expansion of the renewable energy portfolio, according to the Norwegian Consul General. The country continues to attract potential investments due to its wind and solar resources, as well as a favorable business environment.

Despite the opportunities, there are challenges in the Brazilian market, such as the need to simplify the tax regime. However, the company believes in the country’s growth potential and the possibility of establishing profitable renewable and hybrid energy plants as an essential strategy for the Brazilian market.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

What many people consider a weed has become a bicycle in the hands of a Chilean. José Tomás transforms coligüe, a native bamboo that grows up to five times faster than pine, into bikes, canes, and cutlery.

Only 28% of the ocean floor has been accurately mapped, less than what is already known about the surface of Mars and the Moon, and scientists consider the topic strategic for Brazil, with a global goal to map everything by 2030.

Japan wants to bury a 500 km “cargo conveyor” between Tokyo and Osaka to replace up to 25,000 trucks per day, move goods through tunnels and automated driverless corridors, and avoid a logistical collapse in an increasingly aging country.

GAC launches “Chinese hybrid Kombi” with 7 seats cheaper than Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid in Brazil; for around R$ 177,000 in conversion without taxes, the Trumpchi E8 PHEV has a 2.0 engine, DHT transmission, an electric range of 150 km, and a premium family cabin for those living in China.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.

Taiwanese fishermen accepted offshore wind turbines in the name of clean energy, but now they say that old routes have disappeared, fish have decreased, and income has become uncertain on the coast.
