Hydrogen Emerges as Promising to Reduce Pollution

One of the major bets of the sector is the promotion of the use of hydrogen as fuel, known as ‘green gas.’

To reduce pollution, Tim Holf, board member of Siemens Energy, spoke about the importance of holding the event and the need to use new resources to lessen impacts on nature. “Creating a regional discussion platform like Latin America Energy Week is essential to fostering innovative, decarbonized, and competitive solutions that will make a difference in paving a green future for Latin America and the Caribbean. It is an excellent opportunity to leverage local synergies towards effective measures that drive energy transformation in these countries.’

According to a report published in 2019 by the IEA (International Energy Agency), hydrogen is among the energy resources that most contribute to the environment.

Largest Polluters in Latin America

Brazil and Mexico are among the countries that generate the most CO² in Latin America. Together, they produce about 10% of the pollution generated by China, the largest CO² emitter in the world.
