Mato Grosso do Sul is expected to receive an investment of R$2 billion by 2030 with the installation of a green hydrogen plant, an undertaking resulting from a cooperation agreement between UFMS (Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul), RBCIP (Brazilian Network for Certification, Research and Innovation) and the company GWE (Green World Energy Hydrogen). Around 500 specialists, professors and engineers will also be trained at the plant.
RBCIP, in partnership with Green World Energy Hydrogen, recently completed a mission to China to monitor the factory acceptance testing of a state-of-the-art electrolyzer, which will be used in the green hydrogen plant to be installed on the UFMS campus. It is estimated that this clean and sustainable energy source could generate revenues of R$150 billion in Brazil by 2050, with R$100 billion coming from exports of the commodity, according to the Green Hydrogen Opportunity in Brazil survey.
Secretary Jaime Verruck, from Semadesc (Secretariat of Environment, Development, Science, Technology and Innovation) highlights that “the UFMS initiative, with investments in research and extension for the production of clean and renewable energy, combined with the Green World Energy Hydrogen project, follows the strategic line of the State Government to promote the energy transition process in Mato Grosso do Sul, advocated by MS Renovável, aiming at MS Carbon Neutral”.
The minister also mentions the LaTES (Laboratory of Advanced Technologies in Energy and Sustainability) of the Physics Institute of UFMS, which was made possible through the Carbon Neutral Call launched in 2022 by the State Government, through Semadesc and Fundec. LaTES will assist the Institution's researchers in studies related to LPG and Green Hydrogen.
UFMS (Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul) announced that the green hydrogen plant, to be installed on the institution's campus, is expected to be inaugurated in 2024. The project aims to explore several routes for the production of green hydrogen, including the use of groundwater and renewable energy sources.
The partnership between UFMS and RBCIP foresees the involvement of professionals from various areas, such as engineering, chemistry, economics and environmental management.
