Brazil has decided to go down the hydrogen road. By 2025, the government will be able to create hydrogen on a large scale in numerous states across the country.
In the aftermath of the cost-of-living crisis, which has seen gas and fuel prices skyrocket, Von der Leyen’s address focused on energy. She said that the European Union is presently “seizing its moment” in response to “Kremlin blackmail” by reducing its reliance on fossil fuels.

The NuGen project at Anglo’s subsidiary Anglo American Platinum’s Mogalakwena mine will employ a 140MW solar plant to produce hydrogen electrolyzers to split water and generate hydrogen fuel for the trucks, which can carry 315 tons of ore apiece. Engie SA has aided Anglo in the setup of the system.
As a result, a significant clean hydrogen trade is expected to emerge in the next years. By 2050, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) predicts that more than 30% of hydrogen would be exchanged across borders, far more than natural gas.
