AEVO launches report on decarbonization and innovation with focus, highlighting the emerging role of Green Hydrogen and challenges faced by Brazilian cleantechs.
Experts from large national companies highlight the main obstacles faced in decarbonisation of the sector. AEVO, a company recognized for its leadership in innovation and strategy management, has just released the report 'The Future of Energy & Decarbonization', highlighting the challenges and opportunities for the adoption of sustainable technologies in Brazil.
The report highlights the need to modernize infrastructure to facilitate reduction of carbon emissions and points the way to the carbon neutrality. In this way, the energy transition advances as one of the essential pillars for a greener future. This document offers a comprehensive overview of the role of Brazilian cleantechs and the importance of Green Hydrogen as a sustainable alternative.
A detailed study maps the main challenges and opportunities related to decarbonization in Brazilian industries. The report is the result of interviews with 12 experts from major companies, such as ArcelorMittal, Thyssenkrupp, Volkswagen do Brasil, Raízen, Grupo Aço Cearense, Copa Energia and Niterra. These professionals shared their views on barriers and solutions for a more sustainable future.

Importance of Reducing Carbon Emissions
The impacts of the climate crisis are being felt globally, affecting both companies’ production chains and various ecosystems. Implementing urgent measures to reduce these impacts is essential. We want to promote discussions and share practices that can be adopted by other companies, says Luis Felipe Carvalho, CEO of AEVO.
The report highlights that one of the major challenges mentioned by experts is the difficulty of investing in innovation with focus in the decarbonization agenda. The high cost of investments leads companies to seek collaborative partnerships to share resources and technical knowledge. In the energy sector, the low level of maturity of cleantechs in Brazil it is an additional challenge, making the energy transition difficult.
Energy Transition and Necessary Investments
This situation is aggravated by global economic instability, which makes it difficult to take risks, making it crucial that investments are more targeted and strategic. The study also highlights the emerging role of Green Hydrogen as a promising solution for decarbonization. Raízen is already developing a renewable hydrogen project, which includes the installation of a vehicle refueling station on the USP campus in São Paulo.
Green Hydrogen, or H2V, is generated through the electrolysis of water, using electricity from renewable sources such as solar, wind or hydroelectric power. The document emphasizes Brazil's potential to become a leader in this area due to its favorable conditions for the production of this fuel. In the automotive sector, the balance between the development and implementation of new technologies and economic viability is crucial.
Cleantechs and Economic Challenges
Volkswagen, for example, has a hub focused on decarbonization, dedicated to the development of projects and technologies that emit little CO2. This department is aligned with the company's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, considering both products and processes.
One of the main conclusions of the survey conducted by AEVO is the essential role of innovation in identifying and validating new technological solutions for decarbonization. The experts interviewed highlighted that innovation should be conducted under the main pretext of accelerating change, whether internally through intrapreneurship programs, or externally through partnerships.
Innovation with Focus and Carbon Neutrality
The report ‘The Future of Energy & Decarbonization’ not only explores the general trends of the energy transition, but also addresses specific case studies, showing how these initiatives are being implemented. According to Luis Felipe Carvalho, the main objective of the report is to inspire other companies to adopt sustainable practices and collaborate towards a future with lower carbon emissions.
He highlights the importance of sharing with the market effective actions to shape the future, believing that this will create a movement that encourages more companies to adopt sustainable conduct models. The full study is available at the link
