Airports in Latin America and the Caribbean will require investment of around US$ 178 billion over the next thirty years to handle demand that would rise from 809 million passengers this year to around 1.5 billion in 2045, according to projections presented in Lima at the annual assembly of Airports Council International (ACI). The Director General of the organisation's regional branch ACI-LAC, Rafael Echevarne, estimated long-term growth of 3.1% a year and said annual infrastructure spending would need to rise from about US$ 3.4 billion to between US$ 8.6-8.7 billion by mid-century. In the first half of 2026, regional passenger traffic grew 1.9% and cargo 3.6%. Globally, ACI estimates the sector will need around US$ 4.6 trillion in investment through 2055, after a record 9.8 billion passengers in 2025 and 4.7 billion in the first half of this year. “What really matters now is how we make sure our industry is ready for this growth,” said ACI World Director General Justin Erbacci.

bp is weighing several options for its Brazilian sugar, ethanol and bioelectricity subsidiary, including a possible sale, according to an investigation published on Sunday (September 28) by Bloomberg News based on sources close to the matter. Discussions remain at a preliminary stage and no final decision has been made, these people said, speaking on condition of anonymity. bp declined to comment on the matter. The investigation has not been independently confirmed as evidence of a formal sale process. The asset potentially involved, bP Bioenergy, emerged from bp's full takeover of the former joint venture bp Bunge Bioenergia. The British energy group has held 100% of the business since October 1, 2024, when it acquired the 50% stake previously held by agricultural trader Bunge. Financial statements filed in Brazil describe an integrated operation combining sugar and ethanol production and sales with power cogeneration from bagasse, the fibrous residue left after sugarcane crushing.

The average price of photovoltaic systems in Brazil rose by 7% between January and June 2026 for projects up to 300 kW, according to Greener’s “Distributed Energy Solutions” strategic study. Final system prices ranged from R$ 2.02 (US$ 0.39)/W for 30 kW and 50 kW installations to R$ 3.62 (US$ 0.70)/W for 2 kW systems. The survey considers the final price of a PV system, including the equipment kit and integration services. Kit costs are based on price mapping and inquiries with distributors, while final system prices are collected from integrators across Brazil. The difference between the two represents the integration cost, which includes the integrator’s technical and operational margin. For 2 kW systems, the average price reached R$ 3.62 (US$ 0.70)/W in June, up from R$ 3.44 (US$ 0.67)/W in January. Based on total installed capacity, this corresponds to a system price of approximately R$ 7,200 (US$ 1,398).

Petrobras is taking a cautious approach toward Braskem BAK as the financially strained petrochemicals producer works to restructure its debt. Petrobras CEO Magda Chambriard said the state-controlled oil company does not currently plan to increase its stake in Braskem or inject additional capital unless other shareholders also contribute. Her remarks provide investors with greater clarity on Petrobras’ position as Braskem negotiates with creditors over roughly US$ 11 billion of debt. By linking any potential contribution to participation from other shareholders, Petrobras is seeking shared financial responsibility for Braskem’s restructuring. Chambriard’s position comes as Braskem seeks an agreement with creditors to address its financial obligations. Bloomberg reported that creditors have requested approximately US$ 3 billion of fresh capital from the company’s controlling shareholders as part of the restructuring discussions.
