The European Union has launched one of the most far-reaching overhauls of its climate policy by presenting a proposal to modernize the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), the bloc's primary economic instrument for carbon pricing. The reform aims to align the mechanism with Europe's new climate target of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040, while simultaneously seeking to preserve industrial competitiveness, enhance energy security, and reduce market volatil

The growing international geopolitical instability, exacerbated by tensions in the Middle East and the volatility of oil and natural gas markets, is accelerating a structural shift in how countries plan their energy security. In this context, low-carbon hydrogen emerges as one of the central pillars of the new low-carbon economy, not only as an environmental solution but also as a strategic instrument to increase energy resilience, reduce external dependencies, and strengthen

At a time when climate change occupies a central position on governmental, business, and scientific agendas, the launch of the book *Green Hydrogen*, published by Editora SENAI-SP, emerges as a relevant contribution to the debate on the global energy transition. The work brings together a broad analysis of contemporary climate challenges, the evolution of energy sources, and the strategic role of renewable hydrogen in building a more sustainable economy.

Faced with increasing pressure to reduce emissions in the aviation sector, a study published in the Brazilian Journal of Civil Aviation and Aeronautical Sciences points to hydrogen as one of the main technological bets to transform the aviation energy matrix. In a scenario of accelerated recovery of air transport in the post-pandemic period, and with projections of significant expansion of the global fleet, the search for sustainable fuels has become imperative to mitigate th

As the energy transition progresses, one of the most relevant—and least visible—challenges lies in adapting existing infrastructure. A recent study on natural gas networks indicates that the progressive integration of biomethane and hydrogen emerges as a strategic solution to decarbonize the sector without requiring massive investments in new transport networks in the short term. In the Brazilian case, this approach gains relevance given the extensive capillarity of the natur

Amid growing global pressure for decarbonization and energy security, a study developed at the Federal University of Latin American Integration points to hydrogen as a key element for the structural transformation of the energy matrices of Brazil and Paraguay. The research shows that, despite the advancement of renewable sources, both countries still have a significant dependence on fossil fuels—especially in the transportation sector—which reinforces the need for solutions c

The increasing complexity of processes involving hydrogen—a central element in the global energy transition—has exposed a critical gap between scientific advancement and operational safety. It is at this point that the startup FlowPrint Innovations emerges as an emblematic case of knowledge transfer: a solution born in academia that is now scaling up in the productive sector, proposing a new real-time monitoring architecture for sensitive chemical reactions. From the laborato

The launch of the 2026 Mining and Energy Projects Book, prepared by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), presents the market with a structured overview of investment opportunities in the Brazilian energy and mineral sector. The document consolidates already mapped and potential projects, offering a strategic vision for national and international investors interested in participating in the expansion of energy infrastructure, sustainable mineral exploration, and the advance

In a scenario of increasing pressure for low-carbon energy solutions, hydrogen production from ethanol—abundant in the Brazilian energy matrix—is gaining new scientific momentum. Research conducted at the Institute for Energy and Nuclear Research (IPEN), with support from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), has demonstrated that precise control of the processing of a perovskite-type ceramic catalyst can maximize the conversion of ethanol into hydrogen, increase operat

An academic study analyzes the energy potential and economic viability of low-carbon hydrogen production in Santa Catarina, Brazil, using the estimated surplus generation from wind farms, followed by its reconversion into electricity through fuel cells. In a global context still heavily dependent on fossil fuels—responsible for about 80% of primary energy consumption and high levels of greenhouse gas emissions—this work contributes to the debate on solutions capable of reconc

The European Hydrogen Policy Landscape report offers an updated and comprehensive overview of the regulatory ecosystem shaping hydrogen deployment in Europe. The document consolidates European and national policies, legislation, strategies, and standards. This is a substantial update of the previous edition, published in January 2025, incorporating advances made in the interim and reflecting the accelerated pace of institutional consolidation of hydrogen as a pillar of the Eu

The India Green Hydrogen Reality Check 2025 conference brought to the forefront a sensitive issue for the Indian energy transition: the gap between stated goals and concrete results. Organized by the Research Hub for Green Energy and Sustainability at IIT Bombay, with co-organization by HSBC Bank, the meeting brought together policymakers, executives, and experts to critically assess the current state of green hydrogen in the country, in contrast to the ambition of the Nation

The Institute of Petroleum and Natural Resources of PUCRS (IPR–PUCRS) has launched the Atlas of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage: Exploring Brazil's Potential*, a publication that repositions the country in the global debate on decarbonization technologies.
