IEEE Recognizes Itaipu Dam’s Engineering Achievements

Cars That Think

One of the most remarkable examples of technologys potential to provide enduring benefits is the Itaipu Hydroelectric Dam , a massive binational energy project between Brazil and Paraguay. By harnessing 62,200 cubic meters of river water per second, Itaipu prevents the release of nearly 100 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.
