After The Invasion Of Ukraine By Russia, The European Union Found Itself In Need Of Diversifying Its Energy Sources To Reduce Dependency On Russian Oil. Brazil Then Emerges As A Light At The End Of The Tunnel, Since It Has A Largely Renewable Energy Matrix.
The green hydrogen, or H2V, is a source of clean energy that has recently gained the spotlight. Despite the high production cost, hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. The challenge lies in isolating it from other elements efficiently and sustainably.
The electrolysis of water emerges as an effective but costly process that separates hydrogen from oxygen, generating clean energy. More than 83% of the Brazilian energy matrix comes from renewable sources such as wind, solar, and biomass.
This scenario makes Brazil an ideal candidate for the large-scale production of green hydrogen. Since electrolysis requires a large amount of energy, there is no better option than to turn to a country that has plenty of clean energy.

An “invisible” plant can transform rivers meeting the sea into electricity 24 hours a day: French startup uses nanotechnology to extract energy from the salt difference between fresh and saltwater, without sun, wind, dam, or fuel.
Billion-Dollar Investments: The European Union Bets Big On Brazilian Hydrogen
The European Union has already announced investments of around 2 billion euros in the production of green hydrogen in Brazil. Partnerships with Brazilian companies are already underway, such as the case of Unigel in Bahia, which has an initial investment of 120 million dollars for the production of green hydrogen and green ammonia.
The world is experiencing a moment of energy transition. Oil, although still a key player in the global machinery, is on borrowed time.
Green hydrogen emerges as a promising alternative, and Brazil, with its potential in renewable energies, has everything to become one of the leaders of this upcoming green revolution. The European energy crisis could be the spark that was needed to accelerate this change and put Brazil on the global map of green hydrogen.
