Workshop “International and National Hydrogen Certifications
based on Carbon Content”

0 minutos de leitura

Hydrogen as an energy carrier for different uses is becoming a very interesting alternative in Latin America and worldwide as an enhancer to increase energy security and to contribute to a sustainable energy transition and decarbonisation potential. For the development of a low carbon hydrogen economy in Brazil, certification plays a critical role, as it provides the possibility of furnishing third-party proof of climate-friendly sustainable hydrogen production. This should build on existing, nationally, and internationally certification accepted approaches to facilitate local use and export to hydrogen consumer countries, so that Brazil can optimize its market opportunities.

Objective

The objective of the Workshop is to exchange on the current status quo of national and international low-carbon hydrogen certification approaches and provide information to Task Force members on the Brazilian private sector’s perspective of the criteria’s feasibility of the certification schemes under discussion.

Building on international experience, the requirements for hydrogen certification systems will be discussed with participants and discussed about current international requirements of (potential) hydrogen importing countries and the local market.

The discussion will be aligned with the proposed guidelines for the National Hydrogen Program (PNH2).

The online workshop will take place on May 3^rd, from 9:00 to 10:45.
