Why green hydrogen is strategic for Brazil

Currently one of the main obstacles in this sector is the high cost of production (2 to 3 times the cost of hydrogen produced from fossil fuels); consequently, the cheaper the energy used to generate green hydrogen, the more its production chain can expand.
Brazil is currently in first place among clean energy producing countries (83% of its electricity comes from renewable sources, mainly hydroelectric power plants, but with a growing share of wind, solar and biomass energy), so it has the potential to offer one of the most competitive green hydrogen prices in the world.

The Brazilian green hydrogen ecosystem

Our main objective is to increase and sustain the interest of entrepreneurs, strengthen the Brazilian innovation ecosystem and create technological solutions to improve the production, distribution and application of this energy matrix in different sectors of the economy.
Our goal is to be the reference company in the sector, through the construction, promotion and orchestration of the Brazilian Green Hydrogen Ecosystem. We work daily to connect and provide value to the various agents that make it up: reference companies, investors, researchers, non-profit institutions, international ecosystems, startups and government.
Since each stakeholder has a different need in terms of what the ecosystem can offer, we have mapped each of them to deliver what they need in a personalised way.

Thanks to its experience in managing innovation laboratories, our local partner Pieracciani Ltda was selected by the Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), an international cooperation agency linked to the German government, through the Brazil-Germany Chamber of Commerce (AHK) in São Paulo, to manage the iH2Brasil – Innovation in Green Hydrogen programme.

Our invitation

We would like to invite you to be part of the Brazilian Green Hydrogen Ecosystem as an “anchor company” and contribute to its construction. You will come into contact with the latest solutions under development by Brazilian startups, have privileged access to the planning and the key phases of work, improve your image as an innovative company, follow the progress of green hydrogen, gain a clearer and more structured view of the current competitive environment and technologies and, why not, identify talent for your team.
A well-structured and orchestrated ecosystem will be able to offer you connections with the different players, support for taking part in new projects, the knowledge reports produced during the acceleration projects and private presentation days.

If what you are looking for is not included in our invitation, we kindly ask you to contact us so that we can further improve the promotion of this ecosystem through your active contribution.
