This week, the Piaui state government in Brazil inked a number of agreements to create green hydrogen generation projects supported by new solar power plants.

The heads of the Advanced Institute of Technology and Innovation (IATI), Brazil’s only centre specialized in scientific research on green hydrogen, claimed that this renewable energy source will drive an “energy revolution” in the world and that the future of the transition is in Brazil.

The third edition of the Green Hydrogen Innovation Program, which serves as a national catalyst for the development of green hydrogen technology, has recently begun accepting registrations. The programme intends to promote research into and production of green hydrogen, a source of clean, renewable energy that helps cut carbon emissions.

According to the Energy Transitions Commission, primary steel projects with almost zero emissions are within reach in both Europe and North America. By 2030, the organisation says, the sector may be on a path that is compliant with the Paris Agreement.

Rio Negro will hold a worldwide conference aimed at promoting this clean energy, referred to as the “fuel of the future,” with the anticipation that a National Law would be passed that encourages the growth of green hydrogen in the nation.

Engie Brasil Energia and Invest Paraná have signed a memorandum of intent to jointly construct large-scale green hydrogen projects in the state of Paraná.

The “Bahia H2 Offshore” project, which required an investment of 7.8 million euros, has thus far received 5.7 million euros from the Perte ERHA’s incentive programme for the innovative value chain and expertise of renewable hydrogen.

The North American green hydrogen economy is being turbocharged by powerful incentive structures, and Mexico stands to gain if it can take the chance.

Linde’s initiative to establish a hydrogen facility at the Nederland site was approved by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Public and corporate sources of funding have focused on hydrogen, an energy source that emits no carbon emissions when used in fuel cells or burned, as global efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions and address the effects of climate change intensify.
