Hydrogen as an additive: study points to a new frontier for diesel engines in Brazil.
Diesel engines remain the backbone of logistics in Brazil — moving cargo, transporting people, and sustaining the national economy. However, their significant environmental emissions footprint has spurred research into alternatives. A study by the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) investigates the use of hydrogen as a complement to the diesel/air-fuel mixture , as a way to reduce consumption and harmful emissions, paving the way for a pragmatic and cleaner energy t


Hydrogen certification is essential for Brazil's new clean economy.
The National Confederation of Industry (CNI) recently launched a publication entitled “Hydrogen Certification: Benchmarking the Certification Process and Contributions to Brazil,” which addresses the decisive moment for the national energy future. By comparing the criteria adopted by various countries and proposing guidelines for Brazil, the study seeks to build the foundations for consolidating low-carbon hydrogen (H₂BC) as a central vector of the energy and industrial trans


PDE 2035 projects a leap in the electrification of road transport.
The transition to low-emission mobility is gaining new momentum in Brazil. According to the Electromobility Notebook of the Ten-Year Energy Expansion Plan (PDE 2035), published by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) and the Energy Research Company (EPE), the country is entering a phase of technological consolidation, infrastructure expansion, and increased access to electrified vehicles. The document reveals a structural movement that combines market growth, robust public

Brazil's Ministry of Mines and Energy announces decree regulating low-carbon hydrogen.
The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) announced that the decree regulating Laws No. 14,948/2024 and No. 14,990/2024 — pillars of the legal framework for low-carbon hydrogen in Brazil — will be signed next week. The measure, expected to be announced during COP30 in Belém (PA), consolidates fundamental guidelines for the new national energy frontier, offering regulatory predictability and signaling to the national and international market Brazil's commitment to the energy tran


Hydrogen: ANP publishes guidelines manual on requesting authorizations
In a strategic move to structure the nascent Brazilian low-carbon hydrogen market, the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Biofuels (ANP) published the manual "Low-carbon hydrogen: a manual for requesting authorizations." The document, released on October 16, 2025, guides economic agents interested in operating in the sector while specific resolutions on the topic are still pending—a fundamental step toward providing predictability and legal certainty to initiative

Agenda SP + Verde discusses the transition to low-carbon hydrogen in São Paulo
Based on a largely renewable and robust energy matrix, the state of São Paulo took another significant step towards a low-carbon economy during the SP + Verde Agenda Summit, which took place this week on the 4th and 5th. The event, promoted by the Government and City Hall of São Paulo in partnership with USP (University of São Paulo), brought together political leaders, experts, and representatives from the productive sector to discuss the strategic role of low-emission hydro


ABH2 event consolidates itself as the main forum for discussion in the Brazilian hydrogen sector
Last week, Brasília hosted the 4th Brazilian Hydrogen Congress, which has firmly established itself on the national agenda as the country's leading venue for technical debate, business, and strategic development on hydrogen. Organized by the Brazilian Hydrogen Association (ABH2), the event brought together key public and private stakeholders from the energy, industrial, and financial sectors. In a context of global energy transition, the event seeks to align economic opportun

EDITORIAL NOTES


Companies join forces to boost hydrogen in sustainable mobility in Brazil.
Neoenergia and Honda have announced a strategic partnership that places hydrogen at the center of the sustainable mobility agenda in the country. The initiative, presented last week, combines the energy expertise of Neoenergia—controlled by the Spanish company Iberdrola—and the technological leadership of Honda, which has been developing hydrogen-based solutions for three decades. The goal is to test, validate, and accelerate the use of this clean fuel in vehicles and urban a


Brazil launches nearly half a billion dollars in investments for sustainable research at COP30
During the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, Pará, the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI) and the Financing Agency for Studies and Projects (Finep) announced three calls for proposals focused on research and innovation in sustainability, totaling R$ 460 million in investments. This initiative reinforces Brazil's role as a global leader in the climate agenda and in promoting scientific development committed to environmental pres


Ports in Brazil and Belgium establish partnership to create a green corridor for e-fuels
In a strategic move towards global decarbonization, Brazil and Belgium announced a partnership to create a green maritime corridor for e-fuels between the Port of Açu and the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, with operations expected to begin before 2030. The agreement, formalized through a letter of intent signed in Rio de Janeiro, has the potential to establish the world's first major e-fuel export route, positioning Brazil as a key player in the new economy of hydrogen and sustainab
