On the 17th, at 9 am, also at Espaço Brasil, the Unigel shareholder will have the opportunity to present Unigel’s green hydrogen plant in a discussion promoted by the Ministry of the Environment (MMA) together with the CEO of thyssenkrupp South America, Paulo Alvarenga; Rogério Zampronha, CEO of Prumo Logística; and Jesse Can Griensven Thé, CEO of Lakes Environmental.
According to Slezynger, Unigel arrives at COP27 with the focus on demonstrating how Brazil has the potential to be a protagonist in the green hydrogen market. “I understand that Brazil is in a position to be the largest producer of green hydrogen on the planet, since we have a consistent industry, privileged weather conditions and a strong domestic market that will generate growth for suppliers even in international adversities. It is an honor to be at such a great event for the first time and to be able to demonstrate that our country will be one of the great hydrogen players in the world”, he explains.
