How much green hydrogen will Brazil export by 2040?

By 2040, exports could reach USD 4-6 billion, or 2-4 million tonnes of green hydrogen (3) . The domestic market is the largest opportunity for Brazil, and by 2040 can reach USD 10-12 billion, driven mostly by trucking, green steel, and other industrial energy uses.

Can Brazil become a major player in the Global Green Hydrogen market?

The World Economic Forum also highlighted that Brazil, with its vast renewable energy resources, has the potential to become a major player in the global green hydrogen market (Figure 2).

Is Brazil a potential hydrogen exporter?

This potential is driven by the region’s vast renewable energy generation capacity, such as solar and wind, which makes hydrogen production more cost-effective. In Brazil, for example, the development of a green hydrogen hub in the Port of Pecém, Ceará, is positioning the country as a potential hydrogen exporter, with a focus on European markets.
