🇳🇴Noruega e 🇧🇷Brasil juntos no desenvolvimento das eólicas offshore! O diretor para o Brasil e a América Latina da Innovation Norway Americas Thomas Conradi Granli, participou nesta semana do “Brazil Offshore Wind & Power-to-X 2024”, evento organizado pelo grupo Creation UFRN da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, que ocorreu nos últimos dias 10 e 11 em Natal (RN) e reuniu os principais players deste mercado. A Noruega é pioneira em eólica offshore flutuante e tem uma cadeia de valor eólica offshore completa, oferecendo uma ampla gama de serviços, equipamentos e soluções para parques eólicos offshore, desde EPCI, HSE e gerenciamento de riscos até embarcações, cabos, sistemas de amarração e muito, muito mais. O “Brazil Offshore Wind & Power-to-X 2024” também contou com a participação das empresas norueguesas Equinor, que possui alguns projetos de eólicas offshore em processo de licenciamento ambiental pelo IBAMA, e DNV, certificadora que participa de um estudo encomendado pelo Banco Mundial sobre o setor no Brasil. Agradecimentos à equipe do Grupo Creation, em especial ao Prof.  Mario Mariogonzales e Rafael Monteiro de Vasconcelos, pelo convite e pela oportunidade de contribuir com as discussões neste importante evento, trazendo lições aprendidas da Noruega.

🇧🇷 O vice-governador de São Paulo, Felicio Ramuth, esteve em Oslo na semana passada, com uma delegação do estado, para conhecer as tecnologias mais modernas de balsas elétricas de passageiros em operação na Noruega. Durante a visita, Ramuth e a delegação foram recebidos na sede da Innovation Norway e depois seguiram para um tour pelos fiordes de Oslo a bordo de balsas elétricas de última geração, que possuem grande capacidade de transporte de passageiros e uma emissão reduzida de carbono. A Noruega é um dos países que está na vanguarda do uso de balsas elétricas ou híbridas e pode colaborar com os esforços de São Paulo para modernizar a sua rede de balsas com tecnologias verdes. Ficamos honrados com a visita deste grande estado brasileiro ao nosso país e estamos ansiosos para apoiar os esforços de São Paulo e outros estados neste tema. A visita foi organizada com o apoio dos SAMS Norway e ITS Norway, e contou com uma apresentação da Eksfin - Export Finance Norway. 🇳🇴 Felicio Ramuth, viseadministrerende direktør i São Paulo, var i Oslo i forrige uke sammen med en delegasjon fra delstaten for å se den nyeste elektriske passasjerfergeteknologien i drift i Norge. Ramuth og den brasilianske delegasjonen ble tatt imot på Innovation Norway's hovedkvarter, og deretter fikk de en omvisning i Oslofjorden om bord på toppmoderne elektriske ferger med høy kapasitet for passasjertransport og lave karbonutslipp. Norge er et av landene som ligger langt fremme når det gjelder bruk av elektriske eller hybride ferger, og kan samarbeide med São Paulo om å modernisere fergenettet med grønn teknologi. São Paulo er den delstaten med høyest BNP av alle delstatene i Brasil, med mer enn 45 millioner innbyggere og den mest folkerike byen i Amerika: Den har rundt 12 millioner innbyggere (mer enn 20 millioner i hele storbyområdet). Vi var beæret over besøket fra denne store brasilianske delstaten, og vi håper å kunne støtte São Paulos og andre delstaters innsats på dette området. Besøket ble organisert med støtte fra SAMS Norway og ITS Norway, og inkluderte en presentasjon av Eksfin - Export Finance Norway. #TeamNorway #TransicaoEnergetica #Descarbonizacao Juliana G.
