In line with the challenges and initiatives so that the planet achieves carbon neutrality by 2050, The thyssenkrupp, one of the global leaders in water electrolysis technology, the main route for producing H2V (green hydrogen) on a large scale, announced that it will be present in Fichtner Forum Hydrogen 2023, which will be based in Santiago, Chile, on March 21st.
The event is organized by Fichtner, one of the main engineering and consultancy companies in the area of energy and infrastructure, which has been working on the development of green hydrogen in several locations around the world.
Throughout the event, authorities, executives and professionals specializing in energy will make presentations on fundamental topics for the production and commercialization of H2V gain the necessary space to collaborate with the global climate goals and ambitions.
Paulo Alvarenga, CEO of thyssenkrupp South America, participates in the second session of the forum, in which he will address the importance of green hydrogen and green ammonia for the decarbonization process of industry and energy generation.
“In addition to the scientific knowledge we already have about the importance of these technologies for the industry, it is essential that we can debate regulatory and structural issues to allow the generation of economies of scale for these solutions”, pointed out the executive.
Recently, the thyssenkrupp and Unigel signed a memorandum of understanding to increase the capacity of the green hydrogen plant, which Unigel is building in Bahia, from 60 MW to 240 MW of water electrolysis.
This is the first industrial-scale H2V plant in Brazil, with delivery scheduled for the end of the year. In the first phase, this factory will have a total water electrolysis capacity of 60 MW, with electrolyzers from thyssenkrupp nucera, and an initial production capacity of 10,000 tons/year of green hydrogen and produce 60,000 tons/year of green ammonia.

Collaboration to facilitate the export of Brazilian H2V
SAP entered into a partnership to help Brazilian companies export H2V to Germany through H2Uppp, a program from the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action, implemented in Brazil by the German Development Agency (GIZ). SAP will facilitate green hydrogen sustainability certification through the GreenToken by SAP solution.
The success of exporting hydrogen generated by renewable or low-carbon energy depends on transparency about the sustainability criteria met from production to consumption.
GreenToken uses a blockchain approach to collect information on any raw material transparently. By “tokenizing” the hydrogen molecule, it allows buyers to certify its green origin and track the carbon footprint associated with Scope 3 through the value chain to the end customer.
Sabine Bendiek, member of the SAP Board of Directors, delivered the letter of intent to Markus Francke, director of GIZ Brasil, during the Brazil-Germany Economic Meeting (EEBA) 2023, in Belo Horizonte (MG).
According to the company, this is a milestone for the program, which could leave Brazil in a prominent position in the green hydrogen market and contribute to other countries in the transition to 100% renewable energy.
