Green hydrogen, often touted as the fuel of the future in the transition to clean energy, has taken a significant leap forward in Brazil. A recent study by Clean Energy Latin America (CELA) has unveiled cost estimates for producing this sustainable energy source in various Brazilian states, positioning Brazil as a potential leader in the global green hydrogen market.
The global push for renewable hydrogen is well underway, with hydrogen electrolyzers at the forefront of this green revolution. In Europe, the development of these electrolyzers is integral to the Net-Zero Industry Act, a significant part of the EU’s green industrial policy. However, the landscape of this emerging industry is far from settled, with Europe, China, and the United States vying for supremacy in electrolyzer technology.
The Renewable Grid Initiative (RGI), a consortium of 13 European grid operators, has released a report that questions the efficiency of Europe’s plan to produce 10 million tons of green hydrogen annually by 2030. While this ambitious goal aligns with the EU’s energy plan REPowerEU, which also includes importing an additional 10 million tons of green hydrogen, concerns are arising regarding the optimal use of renewable energy in achieving this target.
