Unipar and Atlas Renewable Energy Will Install a Solar Power Plant in MG That Will Have the Capacity to Generate 239 MW and Could Create More Than 1000 Job Opportunities and Training Courses for Local Residents

Unipar, a leader in the production of chlorine, PVC, and soda in South America, in partnership with Atlas Renewable Energy, a leading international renewable energy company, announces the installation and operation of a solar power plant in MG that will bring various opportunities. Construction will begin in the second half of this year, and the project will start producing in June of next year.

A Solar Power Plant Capable of Generating 239 MW

The partnership between Unipar and Atlas Renewable Energy for energy generation through solar power in MG is part of a complex with 239 MW of installed capacity, located in the municipality of Pirapora, in Northern Minas Gerais.

The agreement, in addition to various job opportunities, also provides for a long-term PPA for part of the energy with Unipar. The project, named Lar do Sol Casablanca II, will provide enough energy to power 261,662 homes, according to the average consumption of Brazilian households.

Unipar CEO Speaks Out

For Unipar CEO Maurício Russomano, the agreement for the construction of the solar power plant in MG with Atlas Renewable Energy demonstrates the company’s commitment to Brazil’s future and business sustainability. The total energy generated for Unipar will be sufficient for chlorine production for water treatment for more than 60 million people.

According to the executive, this is yet another move seeking sustainable solutions that enhance Unipar’s efforts in pursuing energy matrices derived from renewable sources, generating greater competitiveness through self-production and ensuring access to essential inputs for operations.

More Than 1200 Job Opportunities

This operation’s agreement includes a long-term PPA contract lasting 19 years. Additionally, the solar power plant in MG will create 1200 job opportunities in the area.

The project will promote the development and inclusion of local communities, including, for example, training programs for women in the park’s implementation in the MG region.

According to Luis Pita, General Manager of Atlas Renewable Energy for Brazil, the use of sustainable energy is becoming a significant corporate responsibility that can offer various opportunities to large-scale consumers who can start using renewable matrices while also making viable the development of social programs and environments where operations occur.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Stored for over 100 years, the first underwater tunnel in Latin America receives a decisive boost with a loan of R$ 2.5 billion signed in April and promises to connect Santos and Guarujá, on the coast of São Paulo, in just 5 minutes.

The reign of carpets in the entrance hall has come to an end: aluminum mats emerge as a new trend that hardly gets dirty, lasts longer, and improves the hygiene of spaces.

The construction of houses with cement wood blocks is surprising workers; it uses a direct fitting system without complications and can make the work up to 100 times faster than the conventional method.

The government announces a new clinical research program and outlines how the amount of R$120 million in investments will be distributed among hospitals and universities of the SUS.

With 5.6 trillion tons of natural hydrogen beneath the Earth, 26 times the known oil and more energy than all the natural gas in the world, the new gold rush is already mobilizing Bill Gates, Amazon, and Petrobras.

U.S. researchers publish the first national map of natural hydrogen, placing 30 states on the radar and changing what was known about clean energy in the American underground.

Solar-powered ice factory in the Amazon that eliminated a 5-hour trip to Manaus, prevents the loss of up to two-thirds of the fish, and now ensures income for more than 30 riverside families.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.
