Report Reveals Growth of Solar and Wind Energy

Statkraft, a European leader in renewable energy present in 21 countries, presents the eighth edition of its annual report “Low Emissions Scenario.” The study forecasts a 69% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050, with a significant increase in solar and wind energy, which will grow by 22 and 12 times, respectively, compared to current levels.

The Guidelines for Global Energy Transition

Developed with the expertise of over 50 specialists from all Statkraft subsidiaries, the report analyzes the trends and impacts of the global energy transition by 2050. According to the research, the world is on a path that limits global warming to less than 2°C. This progress is somewhat faster and more optimistic than projected in last year’s report.

The research emphasizes the exponential growth of solar and wind energy, driven by the competitiveness of these sources and supported by global energy security and the worldwide climate agenda. The full report can be accessed on Statkraft’s website: https://www.statkraft.com.br/sustentabilidade/lowemissions/.

The Impact in Brazil and the Future of Renewable Energies

In Brazil, Statkraft observes a similar trend, with significant investments in solar and wind energy. Fernando De Lapuerta, CEO of Statkraft Brazil, highlights that the company continues its strategy of renewable investments in these two sources. In 2023, Statkraft Brazil received grants from ANEEL for solar projects and acquired two new wind farms in the Northeast.

The study also highlights the reduction of 69% to 89% in the cost of primary clean technologies, such as wind energy, solar energy, and batteries, over the past decade globally.

Challenges and Alternative Scenarios

Despite the optimistic outlook, the report acknowledges uncertainties and risks that could delay or increase the cost of the energy transition. For the first time, the document presents two alternative scenarios: the “Clean Technology Rivalry” scenario and the “Delayed Transition” scenario. These scenarios explore how geopolitical tensions and regional rivalries may affect the energy transition.

Christian Rynning-Tonnesen, CEO of Statkraft, states that despite the increase in geopolitical turmoil, the growth of renewable energies is robust and will continue. Solar and wind energy, along with batteries and electric vehicles, have significantly reduced costs, replacing fossil fuels and gaining priority on the international energy security agenda.

The Expansion of Statkraft

With over 5,700 employees in 21 countries, Statkraft is an international leader in hydropower and the largest generator of renewable energy in Europe. The company has been present in Brazil since 2009 and has its headquarters in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. Currently, it controls 18 renewable generation assets in Brazil and recently acquired two wind farms from EDP Renewables in Rio Grande do Norte.

Statkraft is a pioneer in providing traceable renewable energy with guarantees of origin in Brazil, certified by I-REC. This commitment underscores the company’s dedication to operating sustainably and contributing to a cleaner and more efficient energy future.

The “Low Emissions Scenario” report from Statkraft is a valuable contribution to global knowledge on energy trends and scenarios, shaping the energy future with a focus on sustainability and innovation.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Two new 300cc models from QJ Motor are expected to arrive in Brazil as SBM to target the CB 300F and shake up the low-displacement market, with more power and liquid cooling than Honda.

Federal Police involved in the case to identify the person responsible for hacking the Civil Defense system, which sent ten false alerts, frightened residents of different capitals, and turned messages about real risks into notifications with “misanthropy” and even alien attacks.

Extreme drought causes ghost village to reappear at the bottom of the reservoir that supplies Athens, revealing houses, a school, and ruins swallowed since the 1980s as the lake shrinks and exposes the water crisis threatening the capital of Greece.

Camaro may reappear in 2027, but not as you remember: Chevrolet prepares the return of the icon with four doors, manual transmission, and an extreme performance version to face the new era of sports cars.

In Virginia, a family of small-scale farmers refused to swap the countryside for the city and transformed their milk production into award-winning artisanal cheese from Mantiqueira de Minas.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

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.
