The HUB in Ceará has the potential to be one of the biggest H2V (green hydrogen) players in the world, competing with other countries, which have also started implementation, such as Japan, the United States, Portugal and the Netherlands.

This is the assessment of Monica Saraiva Panik, director of institutional relations at ABH2 (Brazilian Hydrogen Association), in relation to the H2V project that the state of Ceará is implementing – considered, by the government of Ceará, to be the first in Brazil.

The initiative, announced during a meeting held virtually last week, aims to make Ceará a global player in the production, storage, distribution and export of renewable energy.

The executive emphasized that the structure will act as a mobilizer for the entire value chain, receiving components for offshore wind energy plants, in addition to providing the installation of solar panels, electrolysis plants, H2 storage, desalination plant and transmission lines. power.

The intention, according to her, is that H2V can be consumed not only by industries, but also used in various logistics services and urban mobility.

Export of green hydrogen in the Northeast

With regard to exports, the government of Ceará stated that the Port of Rotterdam has a stake in the capital of Pecém, in addition to being a partner in this project.
