Solar Provider Group Plans to Invest $250 mn in Brazilian Solar Market
Canada-based Solar Provider Group (SPG) has announced that it has arranged a team to enter the Brazilian solar market with the goal to complete investments totaling USD 250 million over the next five years. The solar market in Brazil is growing exponentially, with 3.3 GW deployed in 2019 alone, 44 percent growth since 2018, and an estimated 126 GW by 2040. Public opinion and support have been essential for this substantial growth. In a recent survey by Ibope Inteligencia, 93 percent of Brazilians want to produce their own renewable electricity at home. Additionally, in a 2015 survey done by DataSenado, 85 percent of Brazilians supported more public investments in renewable energies, such as solar and wind. The Government’s goal is to attract USD 8 billion in private direct investments, generating more than 160,000 new jobs. SPG believes that the Brazilian market has the right set of opportunities that fit perfectly into the company’s global strategy. With a track record that spans 11 countries and over a dozen US states, the company excels at executing in young, fast-growing solar markets. To achieve its ambitious goals, the firm is looking for local development partners in Brazil, as well as corporate buyers of energy. The team will be led by Cesar Frota. “I am excited at the opportunity the Brazilian market represents, for both Solar Provider Group and the global solar industry. We look forward to building strong partnerships and providing clean, sustainable energy to my home country of Brazil,” said Frota. “With its financing, structuring, engineering and development expertise, SPG is looking to build relationships with Brazilian solar companies that excel at permitting and development on a local level. SPG has experience in forming strong partnerships and executing at scale, thus increasing deployment speed and adding value. Having applied this strategy successfully in various emerging economies across the globe, SPG’s approach benefits all parties involved, including helping local developers to scale faster and more profitably while minimising project attrition,” the firm issued in a statement. The firm is also looking to build relationships with corporations with significant energy costs that are interested in buying solar power at a discount compared to current retail prices. Its one-stop solution enables companies to switch a substantial portion of their energy consumption to cheaper and cleaner power in a simple, sustainable fashion.

Meta Materials as well as Coulometrics Join Hands to Develop Next-Generation Batteries
Canada-based wise products programmer, Meta Materials has actually recently introduced partnership with lithium-ion battery material growth company, Coulometrics. Through this partnership, Meta Materials will independently evaluate its system technologies for battery applications as well as make it much more effective next-generation batteries. President & Chief Executive Officer of Meta Materials, George Palikaras mentioned, "With the current strategic purchases of Plasma App and Optodot, along with our roll-to-roll high volume thin-film covering production plant in Quebec, we currently have capacities to make Li-ion batteries more secure as well as extra effective. We are enjoyed be dealing with distinguished battery designer Coulometrics. META as well as Coulometrics will certainly work together to develop as well as test the safety and security and also efficiency of our brand-new battery modern technologies, which we believe will enable a brand-new generation of more secure lithium-ion batteries, leveraging Dr. Buiel's 28 years of experience as well as state-of-the-art materials synthesis as well as battery assembly facility." META's proprietary thermal-isolation modern technology has been used to separate interior short circuits in metal-coated polymer existing collection agencies made by PLASMAfusion. Cells that utilize metal-coated polymer present collection agencies show reduced bulk (up to 95% less copper or aluminum) and manufacturing prices, as well as a lower threat of thermal runaway during nail penetration. META has actually built partnerships with significant OEMs as well as tier 1 product companies to give modern technologies that will certainly secure Li-ion batteries in a selection of applications. These modern technologies will function combined with META's second-generation NPORE nanocomposite ceramic separators. The partnership with Coulometrics seeks roll-to-roll anode manufacture with META's unique PLASMAfusion film-based, covered copper current enthusiast tools, developed to deliver the performance of strong copper foil while substantially reducing the component weight. Cell building and construction as well as characterization examinations making use of META's unique NPORE ceramic nanoporous separator materials, which provide exceptional warmth resistance as well as better efficiency for increased battery security. The boosted safety and security profile of batteries constructed with NPORE separators and also covered copper current enthusiasts has actually been accomplished with safety testing, which entails nail penetration, hot box testing, and also crushes screening.
