H2 Today publishes an article discussing the memoranda signed during ABH2's participation in the Brazil x France Economic Forum

During the France-Brazil Economic Forum on 27 March in São Paulo, the Brazilian hydrogen association (ABH2 – Associação Brasileira do Hidrogênio) signed two memorandums of understanding: the first with its French counterpart, France Hydrogene, and the second with the Medef International Hydrogen Task Force. The aim of these agreements is to create synergies and to enhance the know-how of both countries in the hydrogen sector. In particular, they will accelerate the development of projects across the whole value chain. The agreement with the Hydrogen Task Force places particular emphasis on natural hydrogen.

Marica project: converting 200 buses to hydrogen

An agreement has been reached between several partners* to convert all the buses in the Brazilian town of Marica to hydrogen by 2030. It is an ambitious project, involving more than 200 buses. If the 2030 target is met, Marica will manage one of the largest hydrogen bus fleets in the world.

More specifically, HyFiT** will be in charge of setting up the plant and developing the buses, Tracel will supply the electrical chain and Ydrogenio will manage the infrastructure (with HyFiT’s participation). HyFiT will be working with specialist partners to bring this project to fruition.
