Multifactorial Screening for Fine‐Scale Selection of CCS Industrial Clusters and Hubs in Brazil

Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, Volume 16, Issue 3, Page 364-395, June 2026.
ABSTRACT As Brazil moves toward implementing its decarbonization commitments, carbon capture and storage (CCS) hubs are emerging as a key pathway for large‐scale CO2 abatement in hard‐to‐abate sectors. This paper presents a multifactorial, data‐driven framework to screen and prioritize potential CCS industrial clusters and hubs across Brazilian regions,

FL‐Offshore: A Federated Learning Framework for Predictive Maintenance in Brazilian Offshore Production Scenario

Artificial Intelligence for Engineering, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 91-103, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Offshore oil production in Brazil relies on Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units, where failures in rotating machinery motivate machine learning–based predictive maintenance. Centralised training is impractical due to privacy constraints, heterogeneous and highly imbalanced local datasets and unreliable satellite ...
