Perspectivas das tecnologias de produção de hidrogênio como fonte de energia elétrica no Brasil: um panorama nacional e internacional

Abstract

One of the pillars that marked the development of each of the world's great powers was the efficient use of their available energy resources. With the advent of coal- powered machines and, later, oil-based fuels, revolutions took place to boost their economies. As we move towards the exhaustion of fossil fuels, which have been the basis of the contemporary energy matrix, and in view of their influence on climate catastrophes, it is one of society's main challenges to find an alternative to achieve a sustainable economy. Thus, Green Hydrogen (H2V) is an energy vector produced from clean and renewable energy sources. In view of the worldwide efforts to decarbonize, seeking to slow down global warming, this paper aims to analyze Brazil's initiatives in relation to research, development, implementation and legislation of technologies that favors the transition to a hydrogen economy. In short, the aim is to address the implications and analysis of this "fuel of the future" and to collaborate in new reflections on the roles of the government, universities and private institutions in the country's prominence as a possible main supplier of the global energy matrix.
