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

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) held its 30th Council meeting in Abu Dhabi, consolidating its position as one of the leading global forums for coordination on clean energy. The meeting aimed to review the progress of international initiatives and align strategic priorities to accelerate the energy transition in the lead-up to COP30, to be hosted by Brazil, and the 16th IRENA Assembly, scheduled for January 2026. Focus on clean industrialization and investmen

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

With an investment of R$ 100 million, Rio Grande do Sul consolidates the first state program to promote industrial decarbonization in the country, aimed at creating a low-carbon hydrogen production chain. The final result of the Public Call for Proposals for the Green Hydrogen Production Chain Development Program, announced last Friday (31) by Governor Eduardo Leite at Palácio Piratini, marks a decisive step in the Rio Grande do Sul strategy for energy transition and sustaina

Three of the UK's leading energy and transport sector associations have joined forces to pressure the British government to act quickly in defining policies that ensure the role of hydrogen in the decarbonization of land transport. The Hydrogen Energy Association (HEA), in partnership with the Road Haulage Association (RHA) and the Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA), sent a joint letter to the government asking that the next update of the UK Hydrogen Strategy keep open

The global low-carbon hydrogen industry has reached a historic milestone, with more than US$110 billion in committed investment distributed among 500 projects that have already reached maturity—whether through final investment, construction, or operation decisions. This volume represents a significant increase of US$35 billion over the previous year, solidifying the sector as one of the pillars of the global energy transition. According to the inaugural Global Hydrogen Compas

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

A new international report from IRENA, in partnership with the Brazilian Presidency of COP30 and the Global Renewable Energy Alliance, raises the alarm about the structural challenges that could jeopardize progress toward global energy transition goals. The document, the second edition of the series "Delivering on the UAE Consensus: Tracking Progress to Triple Renewable Energy Capacity and Double Energy Efficiency by 2030," indicates that, while the target of reaching 11.2 te

On the 17th, the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) inaugurated a pilot plant dedicated to the production of renewable hydrogen using food waste. Located at the Polytechnic Center, the initiative aims to contribute to decarbonization and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, in line with the Low-Carbon Hydrogen Legal Framework. The project was selected first in the 2023 Copel GeT Public Call, with funding from the Copel-Aneel R&D program. Innovation and Sustainability o

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."
