A study developed at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) presents a detailed analysis of the renewable hydrogen value chain in Brazil, highlighting its strategic importance for the transition to a low-carbon energy matrix. The research, conducted from the perspective of public and private organizations, contextualizes sustainable hydrogen within the national and international scenario, highlighting the favorable conditions the country possesses to excel in this ex

Researchers affiliated with the Center for Innovation in New Energies (CINE) announced the development of a prototype capable of producing low-carbon hydrogen using only sunlight, water, and inexpensive materials abundant in Brazil. The equipment, called a "photoelectrolyzer," was successfully tested both in the laboratory and outdoors—a promising advancement towards making clean energy generation viable in the country. Photoelectrolyzers: a national solution for the sustaina

Internal combustion engines powered by gasoline are still the basis of mobility worldwide, but growing concerns about emissions are forcing a rethinking of fuels. A recent study by the Higher Institute of Engineering of Porto, which analyzed the combustion of hydrogen and gasoline mixtures, seeks to assess whether the addition of hydrogen can make the use of these engines less polluting. The research examines parameters such as flame temperature, energy released, and emission

The growing participation of variable renewable sources, the decentralization of generation, and changing consumption patterns are putting pressure on electricity markets worldwide. According to a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), current models, designed for more static systems, need to adapt rapidly to ensure energy security, affordable prices, and operational efficiency. Without this evolution, electrical systems may become more expensive and less reliable.

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

The energy transition in Brazilian ports is advancing towards a new technological frontier, and hydrogen is consolidating itself as one of the most promising alternatives for reducing emissions and repositioning the country in sustainable maritime logistics. A recent study analyzed the potential of this energy vector in terminals such as Pecém and Suape, highlighting its alignment with the climate goals of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and its economic and com

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

The latest Energy Policy Review for Brazil, conducted by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in partnership with the Brazilian government, offers an ambitious and pragmatic portrait of the country's role in the global transition to clean energy sources. Published in the context of COP30, the "Brazil 2025" report reinforces Brazil's leading role, highlights its progress, and points to ways to strengthen energy security, sustainability, and equity. Brazil as a green leader: a

A new report released by a coalition of major companies in the energy, transportation, and technology sectors proposes a detailed path to consolidate the United States' leadership in the emerging hydrogen economy. The document, developed in collaboration with the consulting firm McKinsey and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), offers a comprehensive vision of how the country can expand its energy leadership and strengthen the transition to a cleaner, safer, and more

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

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

The federal government presented new projections for the future of biofuels in the country, reinforcing the sector's strategic role in the energy transition. The Biofuel Supply Booklet, released in September by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) in partnership with the Energy Research Company (EPE), is part of the Ten-Year Energy Expansion Plan (PDE 2035) and highlights estimated investments of R$110 billion by 2035—resources earmarked for the construction of new biorefin
