Hidrogênio verde: uma proposta de mapeamento da cadeia global de valor

Abstract

This monograph examines the importance of understanding the Global Value Chain (GVC) of green hydrogen, with the goal of analyzing Brazil's positioning possibilities and understanding its role as an emerging industry. The methodology used was bibliographical research, with a review of the concepts related to global value chains, the decarbonization process, and the so-called green hydrogen. Based on studies by international agencies and experts, the links of the GVC of green hydrogen are detailed, its production, transport, storage, and distribution, and its potential uses as clean energy. In the analysis of Brazil's positioning, the study addresses the need to develop appropriate infrastructure, including export terminals and safe transportation vessels, and suggests international partnerships and effective regulatory frameworks to facilitate exports. In addition, the article seeks to offer specific recommendations and suggestions for Brazil to position itself as one of the world leaders in the production and application of green hydrogen, considering Brazil's unique advantages, as well as the challenges inherent in the energy transition. It is concluded that the focus on the Global Value Chain, the implementation of practical actions and the creation of collaborative partnerships, has the potential to position Brazil as a key player in the production and use of this clean and renewable energy source.
