Scientific advances developed at the University of Brasília (UnB) indicate a promising path to making hydrogen production more efficient and economically viable. A project conducted at the university's Physics Institute, with funding from the Research Support Foundation of the Federal District, investigates the use of thin films based on two-dimensional materials as catalysts for water electrolysis—a process that separates hydrogen and oxygen using electricity from renewable

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

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

Brazilian mining company Nanum Nanotecnologia has signed a memorandum of understanding with British company Levidian to introduce technology to South America capable of transforming methane—one of the most polluting greenhouse gases—into graphene and hydrogen. The agreement represents a strategic advancement by combining decarbonization, the generation of advanced materials, and the expansion of production chains linked to a low-carbon economy. Microwave Plasma, Advanced Mate

A recent study presents a comparative analysis of the main hydrogen production routes in Brazil, evaluating two central alternatives from a techno-economic and public policy perspective: water electrolysis powered by renewable electricity and steam reforming of ethanol. The research highlights that the country occupies a unique position in the international energy landscape, combining a predominantly renewable electricity matrix with a consolidated bioenergy chain based on su

The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) has placed Minas Gerais at the center of the energy debate by presenting the state's potential for natural gas and natural hydrogen exploration. In a workshop aimed at municipal managers, the ministry detailed the Permanent Offer of Concessions (OPC) for oil and natural gas, a model that increases regulatory predictability and reinforces the attractiveness for investments by allowing the continuous offering of exploratory areas with prod

The University of São Paulo (USP) has presented an innovation that could significantly reduce the cost of renewable hydrogen production: a membrane-free electrolyzer developed by researchers from the Polytechnic School, linked to the Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Innovation (RCGI). The technology promises to simplify the electrolysis process, a fundamental step in transforming water into hydrogen, a strategic input for global industry in the midst of its energy transitio

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

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 Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) announces the inauguration, on November 24th, of the BioSiSH2 reactor, one of the most recent and promising scientific infrastructures in the country dedicated to research in renewable hydrogen. The ceremony will be held at the Djalma Ribeiro da Silva Research Center with representatives from the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI), highlighting the strategic relevance of the project for advancing the Braz

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

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
