Petrobras started testing an equipment that mensurates the speed and direction of the winds at the ocean so that Brazil can produce wind power in offshore parks.
Projects aim to increase wind and solar energy capacity in the Middle East and North Africa from 12.1 to 73 GW by 2030. Oman, Morocco, Algeria and Kuwait have some of the most ambitious plans.
Combined electrical power generated from wind and solar sources is already the second most used in the Brazilian market, behind only hydraulic. The use of clean energy sources has been growing in the country.
A group from the Federal University of Santa Catarina is developing equipment to make it possible to generate wind energy at high altitudes. The approach has been studied in other countries, but the group is a pioneer and unprecedented in Latin America.
The Red Sea Development Company announced that it will build the world’s largest desalination plant using solar and wind energy.
Alfanar is an industrial and construction conglomerate that operates in the power sector in several countries. Arab Chamber executives visited the company’s complex outside Riyadh.
The Arab country boasts 2,965 megawatts in installed capacity for renewable energy, and it expects to add 10,000 MW by 2030.
Such was the installed capacity in place in the country as of last September. The wattage is the same as that of the Itaipu hydroelectric plant.
The amount will be used by the company in wind projects until 2020 to increase wind energy generation in one thousand megawatts.
