Ceara global Interview at World Summit on Energy Transition The Future of Green Hydrogen in Brazil: Reflections from Jean Paul Prates In an insightful conversation, Jean-Paul Prates, former senator from Rio Grande do Norte and former president of Petrobras, highlighted the strategic importance of #greenhydrogen for Brazil. According to Prates, the legislation developed during his tenure was essential to structure this new energy chain, placing it under the jurisdiction of the National Petroleum Agency (ANP) due to logistical and safety similarities with petroleum-derived products. He emphasized the need for specific regulations regarding hydrogen #logistics, storage, and production, also suggesting a future merger between ANP and Aneel as a solution to enhance integrated management of renewable markets and infrastructure. Regarding international partnerships, Prates underscored their crucial role in developing Brazil’s renewable energy sector. He highlighted the strong presence of foreign companies and funds in investments in wind and solar energy, as well as the exchange of technological expertise with more advanced markets, such as in repowering and carbon reinjection. For the former senator, this interaction also drives the integration between the oil and renewable energy sectors, fostering governance and the efficient use of natural resources. Prates concluded by reinforcing Brazil’s potential to lead the global green hydrogen market, thanks to its abundance of renewable resources such as solar and wind energy. However, he cautioned that achieving this leadership depends on robust regulation, international collaboration, and technological investments. For the former senator, the exchange of experiences and strategic partnerships are indispensable to positioning Brazil as a global reference in this innovative and #sustainable sector. #CearaGlobal Posted by Davi Valentim and Sofya Damasceno Photo Source: World Summit on Energy Transition
