Ports RS and Port of Rotterdam will sign an agreement in the field of green hydrogen
[ad_1]
Moving forward in an issue considered to be strategic for the State government, Portos RS (a public company responsible for managing the Rio Grande do Sul hydroport system) will sign a collaboration agreement with the port of Rotterdam to develop actions involving green hydrogen. The agreement will be sealed during the event World Hydrogen Summit 2023which will take place in the Dutch city between the 9th and 11th of May.
In addition to members of Porto RS, other representatives of the government of Rio Grande do Sul will participate in the delegation that will go to Europe, including the state secretary for the Environment and Infrastructure, Marjorie Kauffmann. She details that the meeting in Holland will present several initiatives covering the subject of green hydrogen, addressing issues such as sources to produce the fuel, equipment, markets, among other topics.
In the case of the agreement that will be signed between Portos RS and the port of Rotterdam, the idea is to make an agreement to exchange experiences. “And very likely to make use of common markets for green hydrogen”, highlights the secretary. Last year, a delegation led by the Federation of Industries of the State of Rio Grande do Sul (Fiergs) and the government of Rio Grande do Sul he had already visited the Dutch city prospecting opportunities in this field.
By obtaining pure hydrogen, it is possible to use it for actions such as storing and generating energy through fuel cells (in small, medium and large vehicles, such as cars and trucks) and can serve as an input for steel production , chemical, petrochemical, agricultural, food and beverage and building heating. O port of Rio Grande is seen as an excellent place to produce this fuel because it has wind energy generation (you need electricity from a renewable source to obtain hydrogen and it is considered ‘green’) and an excellent logistical condition.
“Signing an agreement with the Dutch puts us at the center of the discussion on the agenda and can make the port of Rio Grande a major renewable energy hub”, projects the president of Portos RS, Cristiano Klinger. The leader reinforces that the public company is attentive to the markets and opportunities in Brazil and in the world, working to create a favorable business environment to attract these investments.
Marjorie adds that hydrogen plants are being planned where they can take advantage of renewable energies and for the State, environmentally, it is very important to diversify the energy matrix and use clean sources. The secretary participated this Thursday (27) in the 18th GD South Forum held at BarraShoppingSul, in Porto Alegre. Regarding distributed generation, in which consumers produce their own energy, she pointed out that, last year, there was an increase in energy generation capacity through photovoltaic solar modules because many consumers decided to adopt the solution before law 14,300 comes into force, which increased the payback (return on investment time) for those who purchased this equipment.
In 2022, in the State, 51% of the energy produced was through hydroelectric sources, 23% wind, 15% fossil and 11% photovoltaic. “But I think we’re going to have an expansion of this photovoltaic array”, bets Marjorie. The state secretary for Innovation, Science and Technology, Simone Stülp, says that energy, renewable and clean, is an issue in focus globally. She reports that renewable sources produced 39% of the planet’s electricity last year.
Particularly with regard to Rio Grande do Sul, Simone emphasizes that the State is able to trigger a technological evolution, thinking about smarter cities, which involves energy and mobility. The secretary states that it is a priority for the government of Rio Grande do Sul to move towards an economy with greater added value and high productivity, in a world that is becoming decarbonized and where labor is increasingly scarce.
