Brazil is positioning itself as one of the potential protagonists in the global low-carbon hydrogen economy, but the path to consolidating this market is still marked by uncertainties and structural challenges. A recent study published by the Institute for Applied Economic Research (IPEA) points out that, although the country has competitive conditions—such as an abundance of renewable sources and industrial capacity—the realization of this potential will depend on a consiste

A recent study published in the online journal Produção sheds light on one of the most complex and strategic processes in the Brazilian economy: the socio-technical transition of the energy sector in the coal-mining region of Santa Catarina. Traditionally anchored in the exploitation of coal, the region is now facing a historic inflection point driven by climate pressures, technological innovation, and new regulatory guidelines, which reposition low-carbon hydrogen as a centr

Scientific advances developed at the University of Brasília (UnB) indicate a promising path to making hydrogen production more efficient and economically viable. A project conducted at the university's Physics Institute, with funding from the Research Support Foundation of the Federal District, investigates the use of thin films based on two-dimensional materials as catalysts for water electrolysis—a process that separates hydrogen and oxygen using electricity from renewable
