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.
The automation system also eliminates the need for electricians and operators to perform exercises at the unit, which are carried out by Elektro’s Distribution Operations Center (COD) in Campinas directly via satellite communication, thus ensuring almost zero maintenance. This improvement enhances the quality level of energy supply.
