In Addition to Ceará, Which Focuses on Green Hydrogen for Export, Paraná Can Also Become a Major Player in Fuel Production, But More Oriented Toward the Domestic Market

Paraná can become the main green hydrogen production chain in Brazil. This Tuesday (11), the lieutenant governor, Darci Piana, received the board of the Itaipu Technological Park (PTI), a pioneer in the experimental production of the gas that is orchestrating the installation of a network to consolidate this chain, with the participation of both the productive sector and the public power. On the government’s part, the lieutenant governor of Paraná suggested the inclusion of the Araucária Foundation and Copel in the project, which should also involve entities such as the Organization of Cooperatives of Paraná (Ocepar), the Federation of Industries of the State of Paraná (Fiep), and the Brazilian Agency for Industrial Development (ABDI).

According to Piana, it is necessary to propose this dialogue with production sector entities and with government bodies so that the installation of this network can be carried out in an integrated manner.

Paraná stands to gain significantly from the creation of a green hydrogen production chain, which requires adequate labor and substantial technology. Eduardo Garrido, executive director of the Itaipu Technological Park, stated that institutional support is also essential for the green hydrogen project to become a reality.

In this scenario, the state has great potential to be one of the leaders in the production chain, a process that will likely take at least ten years to materialize. The experience and pioneering spirit of the experimental production at PTI is one factor, but Paraná also has a strong network of science and technology institutions, labor, and stands out in the generation of clean energy.

Another advantage of the state is its promising domestic market, with the possibility of becoming self-sufficient in fertilizer production if it masters the hydrogen chain. Currently, a large part of the fertilizer used by the agricultural sector comes from other countries such as Russia, Canada, China, Qatar, and others.

The Start of the Hydrogen Market in the Country Resembles the Start of Wind Energy

According to Rodrigo Régis, the business and innovation director of PTI, the country already has some factories for the production of green hydrogen, but they focus on foreign sales and are funded by international institutions.

In Paraná, the mission of the network is to accelerate the evolution of the industrial chain of the fuel, stimulating the domestic market. According to Régis, we are facing a market similar to what we experienced with wind energy in the 2000s.

It is the beginning of a market that is evolving and needs support. If the state is quicker in this process, it will manage to develop the industrial chain. Therefore, it is necessary to build this strategy for installation in the state.
