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.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.
Strategic Vision: The Future of Green Hydrogen
Alvarenga emphasizes the importance of this clean fuel, highlighting the urgent need for a strong industrial policy. “We not only envision Brazil as one of the largest exporters of green hydrogen, but we also want to be catalysts for a green neo-industrialization in our territory,” emphasizes Alvarenga.
The FIEC SUMMIT Green Hydrogen 2023 adopts a hybrid format, blending simultaneous lectures with exhibitions open to the public. Additional details can be found on the official event website here.
