Neutral plates under analysis: how electrochemical engineering redefines the efficiency of low-cost electrolyzers.
Amidst the climate emergency and the search for technological solutions capable of reducing emissions without requiring the immediate replacement of the entire fleet of combustion engines, hydrogen is back at the center of the scientific debate. A recent academic study, developed within the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, sheds light on a little-explored, yet decisive, element in the efficiency of single-compartment alkaline electrolyzers: the role of neutral plates

LEGISLATION AND REGULATIONS


The Federal District expands its legal framework and begins to incentivize low-carbon hydrogen
The Federal District has taken a significant step in the energy transition agenda by expanding its public policy focused on hydrogen. With the enactment of Law No. 7,839/2025, the Federal District updated and expanded the District Hydrogen Policy, originally focused on low-carbon hydrogen, to encompass all low-carbon hydrogen (H2BC) routes. This measure aligns district legislation with the recently established federal framework and positions the capital as one of the most adv
