Brazil and its huge potential

Brazil once was almost a forgotten country.

Almost the size of a continent, It has a population of less than 200 million people. A melting pot of races, nationalities, and cultures.
Always friendly and welcoming to foreigners, Brazilians will easily make you feel at home.

Brazil has a great deal of potential for them, and for the foreign investors flocking to their sun drenched shores.

Brazil has the largest area in the world which is suitable for agriculture. It’s relative lack of dry areas and perfect weather conditions mean products can be produced all year round.

Agriculture production increases at about 13% every year

Production of ethanol as a bio-fuel grows increases at about 13% every year

For the last five years over 90% of all cars produced in Brazil will run on a mixture of fossil fuel and ethanol.

Brazil is the second largest producer of Ethanol, and also exports Ethanol, of which it is a world leader, beyond USA and China. All new cars produced in Brazil (total flex), can be filled up with any mixture of gasoline and Ethanol. Even those filling up with 100% gasoline are taking in 25% Ethanol, the amount in a normal litre of gasoline. and diesel holds as standard 5% biodiesel. All gas-stations sell these alternative fuel mixtures.

And the percentage is always rising, making use of these bio-fuels and alternative energies inevitable.

People think Brazil’s main export is cattle and indeed there is more cattle per head than people,

But it also produces 50% of the world’s sugar, 50% of the world’s chicken and is a large producer of soybean.

Brazil’s oil

Brazil has more than 9000 km of stunning coastline on the Atlantic Ocean.

Along way from the coast and deep under the surface of the sea lies the newly discovered "Presal" oilfields although only recently proven to have existed as only a fraction is now explored.

This Presal covers the largest part of Brazilians immense territorial waters.

The state controlled oil company already operates around 350 deep-water wells drilling in over 300 metres of water.

This is more than any other oil company in the world.

The largest oil discoveries of the last 20 years have been in it, and although regular new immense discoveries are made, they don’t even make the headlines due to their frequency.

This deep oil drilling is a immense technological challenge, but several of them were put in production in record time, showing brazils competence in the field.

Brazil’s main oil company Petrobras, a state company, is the seventh largest oil producer of the world and Brazil is expected to progress to number four from number seventeen in oil production in the world by 2020.

Water and hydroelectricity & Mineral deposits

The Amazon River holds one third of all the freshwater in the world.

Where the Amazon meets the Atlantic Ocean it is almost 200 km wide the first explorers thought they were still at sea, when they in fact where navigating the river

90% of Brazil’s electrical energy is produced by renewable hydropower.

And the Amazon river is only the third in the line for production behind other Brazilian rivers.

Brazil holds reserves of iron, to cover the consumption for the whole world for over 800 years.

It also provides the cheapest iron, Brazil holds the largest open mine of high quality iron in the world. Almost all processing and production of stainless steel in Brazil uses alternative energy.

Future alternative energy structures all over the world including wind turbines and hydroelectric facilities etc.. will hold a substantial amount of stainless steel produced with alternative energy in Brazil. Brazil has the largest hydro dam in operation off the world for several decades now.

The Farol do Calcanhar was built during World War II to Guide Allied Forces and Natal the capital of Rio Grande do Norte had a part in the liberation of Europe and ending the war.
The role of Brazil, Natal (called the trampoline of Victory) and the lighthouse are not well known. However it is fact that after the war, the USA compensated Brazil for its help and logistic by helping to develop Brazil's huge hydro energy capacity and its huge steel industry.

Brazil has the sixth largest uranium reserves in the world, but they have only investigated 30% of its area for this resource.

Roughly spoken about 60 % of its territory is still unexplored (or at least unexploited).

Guaranteed investment

In 2008 Brazil was the world's eighth largest economy by GDP and the ninth largest by purchasing power parity .
It is a founding member of the United Nations and the Union of South American Nations .

During the recent crisis there is no real downturn or meltdown in Brazil.

International currency reserves are at record high and climbing fast, due to indirect and direct investments from China and the world.

Brazil took emergency measures to try to stem the flow of money pouring in by raising a 2% tax, although they did not succeed and it is a popular as ever.

Alternative energy and confidence

Today 90 to 95 percent of all energy produced in Brazil is produced by hydro energy.
This enormous amount is distributed by a well organized national grid that covers the entirety of Brazil and crosses several South American borders.

All alternative production is connected to this international grid, as is the largest wind farm of Latin America, 25 km from your Villa. This region offers some of the world's most favourable conditions for wind and solar energy.

To the effect, one alternative source compensates for the other when lacking in wind, there is water etc.. and the regions with more sustainability compensate for those with less, giving an efficient system that reduces power outages.

Brazil sees the year 2010 as year zero mainly for an economy powered by renewable energy as seen on the cover of Veja, probably the most renown and quite popular national magazine.

When you feel the potential and confidence of Brazil on one side and the insecure tone of the developed world on the other side, one could get confused and hardly believe this is the same world because of its stark contrast

Natal and the state of Rio Grande do Norte is a favourite tourist destination for Brazilians and South Americans. It has ideal weather all year round. Because Latin America and Brazil in particular are buoying, it now has a record number of charter flights coming in to its international airports.

The pre-salt region stretches for hundreds of kilometers along Brazil's coast.
So far, official estimates in just three fields point to a potential yield of around 14 billion barrels of oil.
However, according to senior minister and presidential hopeful Dilma Rousseff, the entire region could contain between 25 to 100 billion barrels of oil.
