País começa a explorar energia limpa das ondas RIO - O país começa este mês sua primeira grande experiência para aproveitar a energia das ondas do mar. A primeira usina de ondas da América Latina funciona no porto do Pecém, a 60 quilômetros de Fortaleza e será lançada oficialmente durante a Rio+20. Para os pesquisadores, o local é um laboratório em escala real onde serão ampliados os horizontes da produção energética limpa e renovável. O potencial é grande, asseguram. O litoral brasileiro, de cerca de 8 mil quilômetros de extensão, é capaz de receber usinas de ondas que produziriam 87 gigawatts. Fronteira estratégica para a tecnologia Antes de pensar em mais usinas no litoral brasileiro, porém, é preciso testar conceitos e comprovar tanto a viabilidade quanto a confiabilidade do projeto, que é financiado pela Tractebel Energia através do Programa de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento da Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica, com o apoio do governo do Ceará. Dois enormes braços mecânicos foram instalados no píer do porto do Pecém.
Institute on Governance People In Aid Inter-American Dialogue prospectusguide Writing a Prospectus There are many different kinds of prospectuses for different purposes. In the humanities, Ph.D. students are asked to submit dissertation prospectuses to their committees; most research grant applications require them; academic job candidates often include short prospectuses with their application materials; and book publishers request them as part of the process of considering a manuscript for publication. Editors of journals and essay volumes may also request a prospectus of a proposed article. These different kinds of prospectuses differ mostly in regard to the length and detail with which the project is described.
