A working group will also be created to develop public policies for renewable energy and to encourage sustainable development in order to create a green hydrogen hub in the state. The initiative will have the support of the Federation of Industries of Ceará (Fiec) and UFC.
“The undertaking seeks the production of renewable energy, represents the elimination of CO2. It is an extremely important action, not only economically, but also technologically”, said the rector of UFC, Cândido Albuquerque.
According to the head of Sedet, Maia Júnior, Ceará will be aligned with “an economy focused on the environment and will provide the people of Ceará not only with wealth, but above all with employment opportunities for the State”.
Renewable fuel can help reduce net carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in energy-intensive and difficult-to-decarbonize sectors such as steel, chemicals, long-haul transport, shipping and aviation.
Green kerosene plant in Ceará
In addition to the green hydrogen plant, Ceará is seeking partners to finance a project for the production of the so-called “green kerosene”. The unit will be deployed at Fortaleza Airport.
According to the Executive Secretary for Commerce, Service and Innovation of the Secretariat for Economic Development and Labor (Headquarters), Júlio Cavalcante, there are negotiations with the German International Cooperation Agency (GIZ Germany) and with an engineer from Ceará with projects in the area. Conversations are being resumed after the “pause” caused by the pandemic.
