The document discusses various topics related to renewable energy technologies and their implementation. It discusses the role of environmental engineering in chemical engineering in combating issues like climate change, waste emissions, water contamination and ground pollution. It also mentions that marine wind power in the US is expected to increase over 25% by 2030 and discusses technological advances in wind energy. Finally, it discusses solar thermal power plants (CSP) as an ecological alternative to thermoelectric power plants.
2. The role of environmental
engineering in chemical
engineering
Catalogo
In recent years the concern for
the environment is something
present in all areas of society. In
the industrial and productive
sector, respect for the
environment and the search for
more sustainable forms of
production is becoming one of
the main work objectives.
The implementation of ecology
in chemical engineering tries to
combat
Climate change.
The emission of waste.
The water contamination.
The ground's pollution.
Noise pollution
3. Catalogo
Marine wind power is expected to
increase more than 25% by 2030
In 2018, the development of offshore
wind energy projects and the US
operating pipeline grew 1.4% to a
power generation capacity of 25,824
MW. Those affected by the industry
could have the US offshore wind
capacity could grow from 11 to 16 GW
by 2030.
It was also noted that the pilot
projects of floating marine wind
energy are advancing, with a global
pipeline that blocked the 3,100 MW in
2018, with 29 projects announced and
44 MW of operational projects.
The report covers the status of the
176 offshore wind projects in
operation until December 31, 2018.
The report also provides the status
and analysis of a larger global
portfolio of 838 projects at various
stages of development (AA)
.

4. Brazil: AES Tietê inaugurated two
photovoltaic solar power plants
Catalogo
Brazil has 2.4 GW of power in photovoltaic solar energy,
which currently represents about 1.2% of the country's
electricity matrix, according to the Brazilian Association of
Photovoltaic Solar Energy. Bahia leads this ranking, while São
Paulo is in fifth position. Even according to the association, it
is estimated that the contributions will reach R $ 5.2 billion
this year and could generate an increase of more than 672
thousand new jobs by 2035 in the country
This technology also contributes to the excellence in the
management of the deposits of the AES Tietê hydroelectric
power plants, which guarantees the operation and safety of
neighboring towns. All this backed by international
certifications, such as ISO 55.001, which the company
pioneered in 2015.
5. CSP: An ecological alternative to
Thermoelectric Power Plants
Catalogo
The Solar Thermal Power Plants are called CSP or Concentrated
Solar Power, which generate electricity through the use of mirrors
when concentrating solar energy. This is done by means of carrier
heat fluid that then enters a turbine
The power range is from 10 KW up to 200 MW, which allows
supplying demand and connection to local distribution networks.
The factors are more or less 30% with feasibility to double with
thermal storage
The CSP loses 25% of the energies that the panels use because it
is not a direct incident of diffused light. This allows assigning a path
to the adoption of high efficiency photovoltaic systems to capture
energy on stored demand.
