Green Hydrogen Is the Future of Fuels

Green Hydrogen is emerging as the cleanest energy source for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and thus ensuring a sustainable future for the planet.

According to the study “Scaling Up” by the Hydrogen Council, by 2050, H₂V will represent about 18% of all energy consumed worldwide. Thus, the Government of Ceará developed the Green Hydrogen Hub in February of last year, in partnership with FIEC, UFC, and the Industrial and Port Complex of Pecém.

So far, 18 cooperation agreements have been signed, all aiming to produce and export green hydrogen.
