State Program Invests in Green Hydrogen with Notice of Up to R$ 30 Million per Project and Minimum Business Counterpart

The government of Rio Grande do Sul presented, this Monday (2), a set of measures focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and strengthening the use of renewable energies. Among the actions, the highlight was the launch of a notice worth R$ 102.4 million, aimed at encouraging projects related to the green hydrogen (H2V) production chain. This sustainable fuel is produced from renewable sources such as wind and solar energy.

The program was structured based on five main pillars: natural resources, business environment, infrastructure, human capital, and innovation.

To support the actions, the Environment Secretary (Sema) mapped over 90 environmental and infrastructure projects underway in the state. In addition, it considered international commitments made, such as the “Race to Zero” and “Race to Resilience” campaigns.

Notice Provides Incentives for Industries

The notice aims to attract companies that operate at all stages of the green hydrogen chain: production, transmission, storage, and use. The government will offer financial incentives and supportive public policies, in partnership with the development bank Badesul.

Each project may receive subsidies of up to R$ 30 million, provided that the benefiting company offers a minimum counterpart of 30% of the total amount.

The selection process for the projects will occur in seven stages. The phases include registration, analysis, contracting, and monitoring of investments. Selected projects will have a maximum period of 24 months to be completed.

The complete version of the notice will be published soon in the Official State Gazette, with more details available on the portal proclima2050.rs.gov.br.

Decarbonization Strategy Underway

The official announcement was made at Cais Mauá, in Porto Alegre, with the participation of Governor Eduardo Leite and the Environment Secretary, Marjorie Kauffmann. The Chief Secretary of the Civil House, Artur Lemos, was also present.

During the event, the government launched the booklet “Decarbonization: The RS Strategy to Reduce Environmental Impacts on the Planet.” The document explains the importance of reducing carbon emissions and presents initiatives already in execution, such as Biogas-RS and the Green Hydrogen Masterplan.

According to Artur Lemos, Rio Grande do Sul has been consolidating a favorable environment for the sector since 2019, with concrete results achieved in 2022, demonstrating the state’s potential to attract investments in this area.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

The largest supermarket chain in the country, Mercadona, opens a semi-automated warehouse worth R$ 320 million with 70 robots and 32,000 m², where products go to employees to speed up to 5,000 orders per day in the new Vallecas hive.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
