Brazil is rapidly emerging as a global leader in the energy transition, with over 88% of its electricity already coming from renewable sources and solar and wind together generating more than a third of the country’s power mix.
In this webinar, we will explore why Brazil and especially the Northeast is uniquely positioned to deliver 24/7 renewable energy by pairing abundant solar PV resources with green hydrogen production. The country’s strong pipeline of more than 100 green hydrogen projects totaling nearly 90 GW of planned capacity, according to CELA*, highlights the scale of investment and opportunity.
The Northeast already leads in renewable generation – even exceeding its own electricity demand with clean energy – making it fertile ground for hydrogen production and long‑duration power solutions.
Join us to learn how solar PV and green hydrogen can work together to enable continuous clean power, unlock new market opportunities, and drive sustainable growth across Brazil’s most promising regions.
