Claudia Lira, Chemistry Professor, Explained on CNN Radio How Green Hydrogen Is Produced by Sustainable Method from Wind or Solar Sources for Larger Clean Energy Projects.

Brazil has the potential to become one of the largest exporters of green hydrogen in the world, according to chemistry professor Claudia Lira from the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Santa Catarina.

In an interview with CNN Radio, she emphasized the importance of green hydrogen, which is produced sustainably, in contrast to fossil fuels, which account for 99% of current production and are much more polluting. Green hydrogen is obtained through electricity sourced from renewable energy such as wind or solar, to separate hydrogen from water molecules. The versatility and environmental benefits of green hydrogen make it a promising option for the future of energy.

‘It is a technology that is already produced, but not at a large scale‘, she added.

The Amount of Energy Generated Is Large, Comparable to Itaipu

‘The amount of energy generated is large, comparable to Itaipu, mostly for export. Several countries rely on Brazil’s potential to generate clean energy‘, she said.

The chemistry professor also explained that solar and wind energies are not easy to store and transport, but they are used to produce green hydrogen, which is simpler to export.

Green Hydrogen Encourages Production of By-Products

Additionally, green hydrogen can also encourage the production of by-products such as green ammonia, which is used for fertilizers.

Brazil, being a large importer of the product, can benefit from this production.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Frank Gehry’s tower in the south of France received more than 4,000 salt panels and turned a classic construction problem into an architectural finish.

For the first time, astronomers detect magnetic activity in giant exoplanets and reveal winds of up to 25,000 km/h.

After witnessing mines closing and entire neighborhoods losing jobs, friends, and identity in the 1990s, Poland is trying to swap coal for clean energy without leaving cities behind.

Slums in India painted roofs white to cope with 46°C heat, cool down stuffy homes, improve sleep, reduce energy consumption, and even ease the burden on refrigerators.

Without money for a tractor or Tobata, a farmer from Presidente Getúlio bought an old motorcycle from an auction and created an agricultural tricycle that carries up to 900 kg of fertilizer in the field; in five years, he has already sold eight to neighbors.

US$ 7 billion, green hydrogen, and steel with up to 95% less CO₂: the first green steel plant on the planet emerges in Sweden and targets Brazil as the next chapter

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.
