Brazil will act in the definition of international certification standards for the production of green hydrogen, according to the CCEE (Chamber of Electric Energy Trading).
The entity says that it will participate in the creation of a unique methodology that will be developed during about two years together with specialists from all over the world, members of Cigre, the international community of the electric energy sector.
“If I make a certification that only meets national standards, if someone wants to export, they won’t be able to. Or even a company with a factory in Brazil, but with international capital, a multinational, which usually needs to meet the matrix’s standard”, he says. Ricardo Gedra, analysis and market information manager at CCEE.
In Brazil, CCEE participates in another working group, together with the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Aneel, the Energy Research Company, the Brazilian Hydrogen Association, the Government of Ceará and stakeholders from the private sector, to discuss how the certifications will be granted in the country.
According to Gedra, large-scale Brazilian projects for hydrogen production should start operating in 2024 and, therefore, the intention is that the national methodology for certifications will be ready by the end of 2023.
At the end of this year, a simplified certification should be tested on smaller projects.
