The Company That Is All In On The Mission To Achieve Net Zero Emissions By 2050 Is Expanding Its Activities In Solar Energy.

The goal of TotalEnergies is to generate more than 100 TWh of electricity per year by 2030, and to become one of the five largest producers of solar or wind electricity in the world. The Tsu Haze Solar Plant, inaugurated in 2023, is a shining example of this.

Located in Mie Prefecture, in the south of Japan, the plant covers an area of nearly 77 hectares. With a capacity of 51 MW and about 100,000 high-efficiency solar panels, the plant provides clean and reliable energy for approximately 20,000 Japanese households.

TotalEnergies Is Not Only Focused On Generating Energy, But Also On Caring For Our Planet

The solar capacity in Japan has increased fivefold in the last 10 years, and the company operates over 150 MW of accumulated solar capacity in the country. In addition, serious efforts are underway to protect and reintroduce plant and animal species affected by the construction of the plant.

The Sun As A Source Of Life And Energy In Japan

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

While a traditional school may take several days just to raise walls, in Malawi a 3D-printed school had its structure ready in 18 hours, welcomed children in June, and showed a new solution to the lack of classrooms.

Goodbye traditional washing machine: Panasonic surprises housewives with the NA-G5 featuring four drums, a 13 kg washer and dryer, a 12 kg dryer, independent mini washers, a heat pump, and a 4-in-1 system awarded at the German Design Award.

Material once seen as a poor man’s choice returns as a climate bet, with red clay replacing part of the gray concrete in modern buildings, hospitals, houses, and a cultural center that transforms tradition into a solution against urban heat.

American company deploys humanoid robots to work live for 8 hours and surprises by showing machines handling packages at an almost human pace while accelerating production on a global industrial scale

Taller than the Eiffel Tower when in operation, the ship Voltaire lifts giant turbines in the North Sea using a 3,200-ton crane to transform Dogger Bank into the largest offshore wind farm in the world.

In southern Iraq, a structure made solely from marsh plants creates arched halls, dispensing with wood and steel, and showcases an ancient engineering that still challenges modern architecture.

While traditional construction consumes enormous amounts of energy and cement, a new material created by scientists uses an enzyme to transform CO₂ into solid minerals, hardens in hours, and could revolutionize civil construction.
