Carbonell emphasized that investments in infrastructure, along with Itaipu’s investments in the environment, such as the maintenance of protected areas, care for rivers and the reservoir, as well as the establishment of a biodiversity corridor and new technologies, such as research at the Itaipu Technological Park in biogas, solar photovoltaics, sodium batteries, and hydrogen, have great potential to attract new investments to the region.
