Brazil prepares to start producing green hydrogen

Brazil is making an effort to enter the global production map H2V (H2 for hydrogen and V for green), clean fuel With the ability to meet the requirements of the electrical and automotive sector with low environmental impact. By the end of this year, EDP Brasil, one of the leading companies in the country’s energy sector, plans to start activities at a pilot H2V production unit in São Gonçalo do Amarante, Ceará. Hydrogen will be obtained through water electrolysis, a chemical process that uses electric current to break down water into its components, hydrogen (H, forming H2) and oxygen (O, forming O2) contained in a water molecule (H2O). When the electrolysis process uses renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, or biomass, hydrogen is classified as green. The EDP plant will use photovoltaic energy and will have the capacity to produce 22.5 kilograms (kg) of…
