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.

Challenges and Alternative Scenarios

The Expansion of Statkraft

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Caixa Tem releases Bolsa Família payments of R$600, R$750, R$850, and R$950 starting May 18th.

Without concrete, without traditional cleaning, and without common separation, a block made of recycled plastic transforms problematic waste into a rigid piece for walls and structures.

A century-old convent hidden in Tijuca almost went to the ground, but was transformed into a condominium with an open church, preserved ruins, monastic corridors, and a common area that seems straight out of a European film.

70,000 tons of liquid argon will be buried more than 1 km deep in the US, as DUNE attempts to answer why the Universe exists filled with matter and did not disappear into antimatter.

Agro in Brazil and worldwide will change, and ‘Mounjaro is to blame’: medicines used by 100 million people could bring down ultra-processed foods and boost chicken, eggs, soy, and corn
