In a groundbreaking move towards sustainable energy, China and Brazil have unveiled the world’s longest ±800kV ultra high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission project. Stretching over 2,500 kilometers through dense tropical rainforests and challenging terrains, this \"power highway\" channels hydropower from northern Brazil to its southern industrial hubs.
Combining China's cutting-edge technology with Brazil's ambitious vision, the project exemplifies a true marvel of global green transformation. The HVDC system not only enhances energy efficiency but also significantly reduces carbon emissions, paving the way for a more sustainable future.
CGTN news anchor Wang Guan recently visited the heart of Brazil to explore how this \"electricity express\" was made possible. The collaboration highlights the potential of international partnerships in tackling climate change and promoting renewable energy solutions worldwide.
As the world shifts towards greener energy sources, projects like this ultra HVDC transmission line are critical in supporting global sustainability goals and ensuring a resilient energy infrastructure for the future.
