Description
Abstract: The key points of the rapidly developing hydrogen production for use as an energy vector will be covered in this session, along with the hurdles for the energy transition.
We'll talk about Brazil's energy mix and its strategic advantages, which have made it a possible key player in the sustainable hydrogen future.
Examples of how hydrogen can be used in both industry and transportation will be provided to highlight the decarbonization efforts of society.
