50 shades of green hydrogen
The Hydrogen Rainbow: Aligning the hydrogen policies of Brazil and the UK to ease future cooperation.
The examples of how the UK’s policy is designed and implemented was a part of helping the mutual understanding on tehcnically driven policies, that would enable alineation in for international cooperation programs invcluding trade.
A great commercial interest was coupled with the international need to establish harmonised future energy transition and energy security scenarios.
The Hydrogen Rainbow is used to describe the different alternatives to obtain the gas, using different sources, processes and considering the overall carbon footprint.
There are as many optimal ways to achieve low-carbon hydrogen as geographies. Every country may find its best applicable solution. Brazil has a diversity of possible sources for production of low-carbon hydrogen, and biomass may be a local solution, that not necessarily apply to other geographies.
With technology agnostic considerations, a mature discussion among experts of the government, O&G, and academia achieved a common document that would became astrong statement to help define the local H2 policy.
