How many low-carbon hydrogen Hub projects are there in Brazil?
(PN) The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) announced the selection of 12 low-carbon hydrogen hub projects for the decarbonization of Brazilian industry.
This includes stations in towns such as Viseu, Guarda and Beja. In Portugal, several major operators are leading the expansion of hydrogen infrastructure: PRF (Petróleos de Portugal): With the first station in Matosinhos and others under development in Lisbon and Coimbra, PRF remains a leader in the transition to hydrogen.
The production capacity varied between 1,000 and 350,000 tons of hydrogen per year, depending on the project. A total of 70 proposals were submitted, with projects from 20 states, covering all regions of Brazil.
The proposals indicate the use of hydrogen for the production of green steel, aluminum, fertilizers, in refining processes and production of e-methanol”, highlighted the National Secretary of Energy Transition and Planning of the MME, Thiago Barral.
