Sol do Sertão is a project owned by Essentia Energia, a renewable energy company whose financing affiliate is Pátria Investimentos, one of the largest Brazilian investment group.
"The partnership with Essentia Energia is of great importance for STI Norland because it has resulted in supplying our dual-row trackers to one of the largest solar energy projects in Latin America which will have a huge impact on the reduction CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. This large-scale project solidifies the leadership of STI Norland in the Latin American market," said Javier Reclusa, CEO of STI Norland Brasil.
Essentia Energia's CEO, Adriano Vignoli, declared that "although the concern with the environment and the search for sustainable options for energy generation are not new issues, we need to redefine a series of actions of our daily life. In this context, the renewables gain more relevance as they generate benefits in the short, medium, and long term."

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
