With the instability of the national fuel market growing stronger, the president of White Martins commented on the use of green hydrogen as an alternative to diesel in vehicles to ensure more sustainable and cheaper transport.

The president of White Martins Latin America, Gilney Bastos, commented on Monday, (06/20), about the current fuel scenario in Brazil and possible sustainable and economic alternatives to address instability in the sector. Thus, the CEO believes that the use of green hydrogen as a substitute for diesel in vehicles could be the best option for transport in Brazil, amid a rising scenario of fossil fuel prices, such as gasoline and diesel itself.

Using Green Hydrogen as a Substitute for Diesel in Vehicles Could Be a Viable Alternative for the Transport Sector in Brazil, Says President of White Martins

The recent announcement of another increase in fossil fuel prices in Brazil by Petrobras brought the topic of alternatives to diesel and gasoline back into focus in the country. Thus, various experts have commented on the subject in recent days, and among them, the president of White Martins pointed to a viable solution for heavy vehicles in Brazil: the use of green hydrogen.

According to the CEO of the energy company, it is possible to replace diesel, which currently faces the risk of shortages in the country, with green hydrogen to ensure more sustainable and efficient transport for these vehicles.

Bastos continued to comment on the current scenario of fuels in the country and highlighted the strong dependence on only one type of transport modal in the national territory: “Brazil lacks railways. Therefore, the competitiveness of hydrogen in mobility today is much more focused on heavy transport. Today it is done with diesel, with many disputes, many situations that are reflections of what happens abroad. Hydrogen is very competitive for that.”

Furthermore, he also emphasized that the current moment for green hydrogen production in the country is highly favorable for this initiative, as the company itself has projects for the national territory.

White Martins has memorandums of understanding for the production of green hydrogen, made from electrolysis with renewable electric energy, in Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, and Ceará, and aims to expand its business over the coming years.

Thus, with new ventures being formed in Brazil and green hydrogen growing significantly over the coming years, this is the ideal moment for the transport sector to diversify the supply for these vehicles and begin seeking a more profitable, sustainable, and efficient alternative.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

The largest car carrier ship in the world will unload 7,200 BYD cars at the SC Port in June, but before that, an Italian ship will arrive this Tuesday with another 4,500 vehicles, totaling 11,700 cars, 150 workers, and a 24-hour non-stop operation at the Port of Itajaí.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.
