ENGIE’s goal in joining the Brazilian Hydrogen Association is to advance in the green hydrogen sector, where the company is focused on growing both in Brazil and around the world. Joining the association, promoting partnerships and studies in this sector, further confirms ENGIE’s target of zeroing its emissions by 2045.

For Langie, the Brazilian hydrogen market needs appropriate regulation to evolve. Thus, working alongside the Brazilian Hydrogen Association and its members will bring new opportunities to drive regulatory and normative milestones in the country, establishing a competitive and attractive market for new investors.

According to the executive, ENGIE sees opportunities in creating solutions for sectors such as steel, chemicals, mining, petrochemicals, and others. According to the President of the Brazilian Hydrogen Association, Paulo Emílio Valadão de Miranda, the entity’s mission is to create a network composed of companies, universities, government institutions, and agencies to discuss, incentivize, and plan initiatives in the green hydrogen sector with a focus on creating regulations, standards, and codes.

Monica Saraiva Panik, director of institutional relations at the entity since 2020, states that she has been observing the recent advance of the sector and the increase in interest in this energy solution. The ABH2, has been connecting with companies and the private sector. This is due to the hydrogen segment becoming one of the largest over the last year, and interest has been growing.

ENGIE Plans to Achieve 4GW of Hydrogen Capacity by 2030

ENGIE’s global goal is to develop a strong position in green hydrogen, a technology that is gaining momentum globally. The group’s mission is to benefit from the advantages and be at the forefront of the sector.

From the company’s perspective, green hydrogen is a strategic vector for carbon neutrality, as it allows for better utilization of renewable energies and helps reduce emissions for sectors to meet their targets.

By 2030, ENGIE estimates to develop a production capacity of 4 GW of green hydrogen, install about 700 km of networks aimed at the source, and operate more than 100 refueling stations. The group already has around 70 hydrogen projects in operation across 10 countries.

ENGIE Plans to Achieve 4GW of Hydrogen Capacity by 2030

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The seemingly endless sand is disappearing: the world extracts 50 billion tons per year from rivers and beaches, a volume comparable to 19,000 pyramids of Giza, while mafias profit, islands disappear, and city concrete is threatened until 2050.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.

How much does it cost to make a radier? A shallow foundation can speed up the construction and reduce stages, but poorly compacted soil, excess load, and design errors can turn the concrete slab into cracks, structural settlements, and much higher expenses later on.

Goodbye steel rebar? Scientists create 3D-printed plastic reinforcement that “bites” into concrete, prevents corrosion, and could change beams, slabs, and bridges in civil construction.

End of heavy manual drilling: three robots take over more than 9,000 holes in the Engelberg tunnel in Germany, working at a height of 7.5 meters and increasing precision in construction carried out with traffic in operation.

With unprecedented technology brought from China, Bahia will build a 12.4 km bridge over the Baía de Todos-os-Santos, which will be the largest over the sea in Latin America, connecting Salvador to Itaparica and shortening trips by up to 250 km after decades of waiting.
