Brazil Spotlight
Brazil stands at the forefront of the low emission hydrogen revolution, a concerted effort from various sectors, including state giants like Petrobras and Eletrobras, private enterprises, national and federal authorities, academia, and the industry. This session will explore the intricate dynamics and growing potential of Brazil’s bid for a thriving low emission hydrogen market:
– Exploring notable collaborations, such as the MOUs between H2 Green Steel and Vale, and EDP with ArcelorMittal, which illustrate the industry’s momentum.
– Analyzing the investments underway in ports like Pecem (Ceará), Suape (Pernambuco), and Port of Açu (Rio) to meet both international and local hydrogen demand.
– With over 2 billion euros committed by the European Union and additional support from multilateral institutions, we’ll explore these significant commitments and their implications for Brazil’s hydrogen industry.
– Federal and state leaders from Brazil will provide an in-depth look at the incentives offered by national and regional governments to foster the growth of the low emission hydrogen industry.
– Project updates at a state level, e.g. Ceara, on progress towards financing and construction

Peru Spotlight
In the first half of 2024, Peru is set to unveil its Hydrogen Strategy. This session will offer an in-depth exploration of the upcoming strategy and its potential impacts:
- What are the key elements of Peru's Hydrogen Strategy, and what incentives are planned to boost green hydrogen production? The discussion will shed light on the collaborative efforts of the multisectoral committee in crafting the national strategy
- A significant emphasis of the strategy is on powering the mining industry with green hydrogen. How will this focus align with Peru's overall energy and industrial goals, and with what implications for the mining sector?
- The strategy has not been without its controversies e.g. water usage and environmental impact. The spotlight session will examine these concerns in detail, understanding their basis and exploring potential solutions.
- One of the critical issues brought to light is the perceived relegation of local communities' energy needs. How will the strategy engage with and meet the energy needs of these communities, ensuring a fair and inclusive approach?
- What are the broader implications of Peru's Hydrogen Strategy. What does this mean for Peru's position in the global energy market? How will it impact the country's environmental and economic landscape in the long term?
