Porto do Pecém Thermal Power Plant in Ceará Introduces Buses Powered by Solar Energy

Thanks to EDP and the Porto do Pecém thermal power plant – a multinational energy company, the future of road public transportation powered by solar energy has arrived in Ceará. Controlled by Portuguese capital, EDP already has part of its workforce from the Porto do Pecém Thermal Power Plant using the 100% photovoltaic energy bus, which is operated by the vehicle rental company in Ceará, Gertáxi.

The model contains batteries that allow for a range of over 300 km and was born from an investment of over R$ 4.80 million.

The Idea for the Solar-Powered Bus Came from the Partnership Between EDP, Unesp, and Porto do Pecém

The main idea of using the vehicle based on photovoltaic energy originated from the partnership between EDP and Unesp. The physical design of the vehicle was developed by BYD Brazil, a Chinese company, which designed it on one of its chassis coupled with a vehicle body from the Marcopolo company.

The Solar-Powered Bus Model Has 189 Photovoltaic Modules (Solar Panels)

The model’s batteries are recharged from a micro solar photovoltaic power plant located in the company’s parking lot.

The equipment, inaugurated in June this year, has 189 photovoltaic modules (solar panels), which are capable of generating around 104,600 kWh of electricity per year from sunlight.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

Japanese garbage collectors treat filthy trucks as if they were dealership cars, and the obsession with cleanliness is so absurd that they invented a washing machine that only exists for this type of vehicle.

Germany took 1,468 days to drill 9,101 meters of the Earth’s crust, faced temperatures of 265 degrees, crossed faults saturated by fluids under pressure, and revealed that the continental crust remains active, stressed, and permeable far beyond the limits that science considered possible.

In 1991, Brazil’s GDP was almost double India’s, and today it is little more than half: while India grew 6.5% per year and trained engineers, Brazil preferred to train lawyers, and now it is rushing to strengthen ties with the world’s fourth-largest economy.

The Brazilian city of the crooked buildings, which is being “swallowed” by the sea, receives more than R$ 20 million after a R$ 276.6 million package for 214 cities, with transfers of R$ 2.5 million per tourist resort.

São Paulo Government launches fire prevention program on highways to protect rural areas, agricultural and livestock production, and the environment

magniX’s new electric motor promises 175 kW, weighs only 55 kg, and targets light training aircraft.

The Amazon begins to fail in silence: areas of the planet’s largest tropical forest emit more carbon than they absorb, lose resilience after extreme droughts, and transform the green that still seems intact into a climate warning before visible collapse.

Noroeste Paulista highways gain 19 new service points and expand free support for motorists since 2023

Brazil is experiencing two climates at the same time, with temperatures below zero in the South while the Central part of the country bakes at almost 37°C, and the turn of the month promises no relief for either side.
