EDP has plans to strengthen the energy transition in Brazil over the coming years.

The launch of the green hydrogen production plant in Ceará marks a significant step toward this, in addition to consolidating the organization’s commitment to the state.

Besides the production of fuel, the project includes the development of a roadmap with scenario analyses for scalability, considering all links in the production chain.

Thus, it will be able to further expand its green hydrogen production project in the state of Ceará.

“Even more important than producing the first molecule are the knowledge and experience that this initiative brings to EDP and to the green hydrogen market in Brazil. Now, with the plant completed and fully operational, which is pioneering in the country, our focus is to improve the generation process, assess business models, expand production, and establish strategic partnerships with different industry segments that can utilize the gas,” highlighted João Marques da Cruz, CEO of EDP in Brazil.

EDP celebrated the launch of its new green hydrogen production plant and expects to continue investing in renewable energy in Brazil.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

The SUS waiting list for surgeries has more people than the entire population of six countries.

Brazilians spend more hours in traffic each year than on vacation.

São Paulo and the Atacama are at the same latitude: what separates a metropolis of 22 million people from a desert is a forest 3,000 km away.

USP technology was used by NASA in Artemis II.

With 5.6 trillion tons of natural hydrogen beneath the Earth, 26 times the known oil and more energy than all the natural gas in the world, the new gold rush is already mobilizing Bill Gates, Amazon, and Petrobras.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.
