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.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

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.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

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.

Driver’s license at 16, driving limit after midnight, and autonomous cars in Brazil: a bill that changes the Traffic Code advances in the Chamber and could transform the routine of young people, drivers, and new technologies on the streets

Florida dumped 2 million tires into the ocean near Fort Lauderdale to create an artificial reef, but hurricanes scattered the rubber across the seabed, and cleanup efforts initiated decades later are still trying to correct the environmental disaster without a guarantee of full coral recovery.

He bought a Toyota for R$ 14,000 in 1990, did all the maintenance himself for 40 years, and the car has already driven over 1.2 million kilometers without stopping, but the odometer only shows 253,000 because there is no space for the digit “1”.

Oil inventories in the United States plummet by 8.263 million barrels in one week, a drop more than double the expected, while Cushing also declines and refineries increase operations to 96.7%.

Mother of two who couldn’t leave her village in India takes a 20-day masonry course, starts a company with other women, receives a large production order, and changes her financial situation.

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.

What changes with the new public transportation rules that can reduce pressure on fares and pave the way for zero fare in Brazil?

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.
