Plant of Coca-Cola maker suspended for potential contamination in Brazil
BRASILIA, June 4 (Reuters) - A plant owned by Brazilian soft drink firm Solar, which produces for Coca-Cola (KO.N), opens new tab, had a fault in its cooling system detected, leading production and bottling to be suspended as a precautionary measure, Brazil's government said on Wednesday. Production was halted after authorities established a liquid used in the cooling process had come in contact with products being manufactured, Brazil's agriculture ministry said, in reference to an on-site inspection of the plant in Ceara state. The liquid in question contains food-grade alcohol that does not pose a high health risk and does not contain toxic substances, the ministry added in a statement. All of the products that may have been compromised remain in the company's inventory, Agriculture Minister Carlos Favaro told a press conference in Brasilia, adding that there was no risk that the affected products could have reached supermarkets. According to the ministry, the production suspension will be maintained until Solar enforces the necessary corrections and proves the elimination of all risks in the production process, which may occur as early as today. Samples from about 9 million liters of soft drinks await laboratory analysis, which should be concluded in five days, the ministry said. Solar and Coca-Cola did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

EDP Brasil to sell remaining 20% stake in Pecem coal plant
EDP Brasil, a subsidiary of utility company EDP, has signed an agreement with Brazilian energy company Diamante Geração de Energia to sell its 20% stake in Pecem Geração de Energia, which owns and operates the Pecem coal plant. The 0.20bn reais ($35.4m) transaction signifies EDP's complete exit from the coal-fired power plant in the Brazilian state of Ceará. The Pecém complex spans 17,000 hectares and features complete infrastructure to install new enterprises. EDP divested 80% of its stake in Pecém to a consortium of Brazilian investors led by Mercurio Asset at the end of 2023. The sale of the remaining stake in Pecém is part of its broader strategy to decarbonise its operations. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and customary conditions. Despite divesting from the coal-powered segment of the Pecém complex, EDP will retain full control of the renewable hydrogen project within the same complex. This project produced the first molecule of green hydrogen in December 2022 - a first for both EDP Group and Brazil in their energy transition efforts. EDP is pursuing energy conversion plans across its facilities in Brazil, Portugal and Spain. The company is also investing in the development of sustainable energy solutions, with a particular focus on green hydrogen. In March 2025, ENGIE Brasil Energia signed an agreement with EDP to acquire two hydropower plants in northern Brazil for 2.9bn reais: 2.3bn reais in equity value and 671,000 reais in net debt. "EDP Brasil to sell remaining 20% stake in Pecem coal plant" was originally created and published by Power Technology, a GlobalData owned brand.
