Different Models Of Gasoline Cars Could Be Adapted To Become Green Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles, According To The CEO Of OZ Energia
The Portuguese company OZ Energia is developing a system that will serve to adapt combustion engine cars to operate on hydrogen, as it is less polluting. Various gasoline-powered vehicles are currently undergoing a ‘transition’ to what is considered more eco-friendly mobility. For OZ, it is a kind of “nonsense” not to utilize the cars that already exist on the market and adapt them, transforming them into hydrogen-powered vehicles.

The CEO argues that it is necessary to use the cars that are currently on the market, as the path to sustainable mobility is not made through the disposal of products that are still within their useful life.
That’s why, for about three years, the company has been working on developing a system that allows for the transformation of a gasoline car into a car that primarily uses hydrogen.
OZ Energia Bets On The Future Success Of Its New System, Which Is Already In The Initial Testing Phase
According to Micaela Silva, the company wants to see hydrogen supply sources across the country. The CEO explains that once her team realized that to achieve an effective transition from gasoline cars to hydrogen-powered vehicles, it would be necessary to wait for the automotive fleet to renew. Otherwise, the option would be to create a system capable of transforming current vehicles into engines that consume hydrogen.
The project is in the testing phase of the electrolyzer, which is equipment that uses water to produce hydrogen.
CEO Of OZ Energia Comments On The Increase In Cooking Gas Prices During The Pandemic
The CEO of OZ Energia, when asked what she thought about the increase in cooking gas prices, a measure adopted during the initial period of the COVID-19 pandemic, when everyone was forced to stay confined at home, replied that this is not the right path to take. Micaela believes that it makes no sense to compare the price and quality of the service in the Portuguese market with other markets.
The CEO concluded, saying that she understood that there had been no abuse in the price increase, as a way to take advantage of the situation, meaning the pandemic, and that it was not a matter of high margins, but rather of controlling costs for which the country was unprepared, as the risks were not budgeted, such as the costs of personal protective equipment, so that their employees could continue delivering gas canisters to households across the country.
