Technological development is constantly evolving and with that, society is looking for more sustainable alternatives to reduce environmental impacts.

One of these alternatives has been gaining prominence in recent years: green hydrogen. And it is with the aim of discussing the potential of this energy source that the Senate will promote, on November 17, 2021, a public hearing with the theme “The Green Hydrogen Sector and the Development of Technology”.

The debate will be promoted by the Special Commission for the Debate of Public Policies on Green Hydrogen, which is chaired by Senator Cid Gomes (PDT-CE). Among the topics that will be discussed are: exploration, production and use of green hydrogen as a source of renewable and cleaner energy in various sectors of the economy.

Several experts on the subject have already confirmed their presence, such as the general coordinator of Sectorial Technologies of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, Rafael Silva Menezes; the professor of the Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Program at Coppe/UFRJ, Paulo Emílio de Miranda; the pro-rector of the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), Augusto Teixeira de Albuquerque; professor at the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo (USP), Thiago Lopes; the general head of Embrapa Agroenergia, Alexandre Alonso Alves; and the technical director of Braspell Bioenergia, Afonso Bertucci.

In addition to these experts, the commission also invited representatives from Petrobras and the Federal Chemistry Council to participate in the debate, but the presence of these guests has not yet been confirmed.

O green hydrogen is produced through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind energy, for example. This process allows hydrogen to be generated without carbon emissions, making it a clean and renewable source of energy.

Due to its versatility, the Green hydrogen has great potential to be used in various sectors of the economy, such as industry, transport and the residential sector, and can replace more polluting energy sources and reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.

However, despite its versatility and potential, there is still much to be developed in relation to green hydrogen.

Therefore, it is important to promote debates and public hearings with specialists, in order to discuss public policies and measures aimed at the development and improvement of this technology.

The public hearing on the “Green Hydrogen Sector and the Development of Technology” will be held in room 19 of the Alexandre Costa Wing, in the Senate, at 14 pm. The event is open to the public and will be broadcast live over the internet, allowing more people to have access and participate in the debate.

In summary, the public hearing promoted by the Senate aims to discuss the potential of green hydrogen as a source of clean and renewable energy in different sectors of the economy. Green hydrogen is a more sustainable alternative to polluting energy sources, and the debate aims to discuss public policies and measures for the development and improvement of this technology.
