🍇🤝⚡Galp, a Portuguese multinational energy corporation, in collaboration with the Instituto Superior de Agronomia, School of Agriculture, of the University of Lisbon (ISA), has recently launched a pioneering agrivoltaic project at Tapada da Ajuda’s vineyards in Lisbon. This innovative pilot study, which will be carried out for the upcoming 3 years, aims to explore how shading from solar panels can mitigate the climate change effects on grapevines and promote sustainable viticulture. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦? It integrates agriculture and solar energy production, allowing solar panels to be installed in cultivation and pasture areas. This dual-purpose approach enables simultaneously energy and food production, enhancing efficiency and sustainability. The most important part of the pilot project is the testing of a technology with the potential to mitigate the impacts of climate change in the wine production sector by ensuring the correct development and quality of the grapes and wine. The solar panels installed will also be used to produce energy to supply part of the electricity demand at ISA, contributing to its own carbon neutrality goals.

The Irish developer WElink Group is preparing an investment in the #Algarve Solara4 (WElink Energy) plant, in #Alcoutim (#Faro), to increase #solar capacity and create two #wind farms, and even a #battery storage solution 🌞💨🔋 According to Jornal Económico, the idea to make this plant #hybrid comes from #Solara4's ambition to produce electricity continuously (24/7), making the most of the connection point with 200 megawatts (MW). And the goal is to have everything ready by 2030, then have almost 500 MW, and close PPA agreements ⚡⚡ The investment will be split between €200 million for wind, €35-€40 million for solar, and €70 million for storage, plus a €100 million investment in the second wind phase 💪 “We are seeking to maximize the connection point with hybridization projects. There is still more room to optimize the project with solar over-equipment. We have been studying the wind resource for over a year,” says Hugo Paz Almeida, Project Director Iberia at Welink. And the company is also interested in participating in the storage auction announced by the Government, planning to install 80 megas of storage with four hours of capacity 👌 You can read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/gqmbMSKG Nuno Costa Alemão Luis Rosa Barry O'Neill Joss Ealey John Murphy By AICEP Portugal Trade & Invest | San Francisco

🏅According to the Architecture & Design Community (ADC), the 4 Elements, from "Ocubo Criativo Lda", #Portugal 🇵🇹, is an Interactive Light Art Installation that is inspired by the four elements: #Fire 🔥, #Water, 🌊 #Earth⛰, and #Air 🌬. 4 Elements is simultaneously a #synchronized show between #music and #light, also working as an #interactive #artwork, where the participants will have the opportunity to control the light display just by moving their hands in the interactive totem changing the different elements. Very poetically, each element has its own moment during the show, appearing together in the end and demonstrating the connection between the four. It is not merely a harmonious duet between sound and light; it is a canvas for your #creativity. With a simple gesture of your hand, you become the conductor, orchestrating the ebb and flow of the four essential elements. This interactive artwork is a testament to the harmonious interplay of light, sound, and motion, beckoning you to explore the very elements that compose our world. As you immerse yourself in this experience, it prompts introspection about our place on this planet and the profound impact we have on it. 4 Elements is a project by Portuguese studio OCUBO. 🔗 Know more ⬇ https://lnkd.in/gUyCKkrr #MadeInPortugal #BuyFromPortugal #InvestInPortugal #BusinessMatchMaking #PortugalOpenForBusiness #AICEP By AICEP | Malaysia

✈ Three years ago, Airbus Atlantic chose Portugal 🇵🇹 to set up a new factory in Santo Tirso, #Portugal, where it began producing fuselage panels for the A320 and A350 aeroplanes. By the end of 2023, the factory already employed 240 people, and this year, it will receive two more components for the A320's forward fuselage. For the company's CEO, Eric Belloc, 'supporting this increase in production is a priority'. The Airbus Atlantic plant in Santo Tirso has quickly become one of the leading aeronautical references in Portugal. 'The results are positive. We have achieved our growth targets – 240 jobs by the end of 2023 – and our investment targets. We continue to expand and should have around 330 employees by the end of 2024,' predicts Eric Belloc. 🚀 📈 Airbus' success in Portugal is directly related to the success of the #A320 family of aircraft, whose production continues to increase. For this reason, the Santo Tirso factory will receive two other components for the front fuselage of the aeroplanes later this year. 🔗 Read the full article ⬇ https://lnkd.in/gVK82ZT2 #MadeInPortugal #BuyFromPortugal #InvestInPortugal #BusinessMatchMaking #PortugalOpenForBusiness #AICEP By AICEP | Malaysia
