The Suape Complex in Pernambuco, Brazil, received an institutional visit in November from Topsoe, a renowned Danish company specializing in hydrogen technologies, e-fuels, and industrial decarbonization processes. The visit marks the deepening of negotiations initiated during a recent official mission to Denmark—led by Governor Raquel Lyra—and signals the intention to transform the port into a national hub for clean energy. Suape looks to the future with hydrogen, e-methanol,

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

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.

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

GWM Brasil presented, during COP30 in Belém (PA), the first hydrogen-powered boat in Latin America — a technological milestone that reinforces the country's progress on the decarbonization agenda and the adoption of clean mobility solutions. The vessel was exhibited at the Hydrogen Complex, a space set up at the Port Quay to integrate innovation, sustainability, and practical demonstrations of the use of hydrogen as an energy vector. Explorer H1 inaugurates a new chapter in s

In a pioneering initiative in the Brazilian energy sector, EDF Power Solutions inaugurated its first hydrogen pilot plant in the country on November 7th, located at the Norte Fluminense Thermoelectric Power Plant in Macaé (RJ). The project, which received an investment of R$ 4.5 million under the Aneel Research, Development and Innovation Program (PROPDI), represents a strategic milestone in the search for sustainable and low-carbon energy solutions, reinforcing the company's

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
