The United States and Brazil will collaborate on various clean-energy initiatives: bioenergy-to-hydrogen, clean energy for remote communities, carbon and methane management, and more.
Jennifer Granholm, the U.S. Secretary of Energy, and Alexandre Silveira, Brazil’s Minister of Mines and Energy, announced new joint initiatives on clean energy and renewed their commitment to the energy transition at the U.S.-Brazil Energy Forum. The United States and Brazil agreed to:
Over the last year, the two countries have:

In late September 2024, the DOE’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office selected GE Vernova to lead a project to enable permitting and safety for hydrogen deployment. The project has the following objective: to identify the primary challenges of siting, permitting, and installation across the value chain from hydrogen production to end-use.
GE Vernova will lead a project team called H2Net, including Clemson University and Roper Mountain Science Center based in Greenville, SC. The company will enter award negotiations with the DOE valued at $1 million to finalize the terms and scope of the project. As part of the program, H2Net will develop an artificial intelligence assistant trained on the relevant, critical documents for safe hydrogen handling and permitting.
Also in September, the DOE’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations granted NTEC $6.55 million for a front-end engineering design study to evaluate carbon capture and storage at the Four Corners Power Plant (FCPP). Carbon capture would remove more than 95% of the CO2 emissions at FCPP. In addition. Continued plant operation will save more than 600 jobs and preserve $183 million per year in the Navajo Nation, as well as bolster the regional power grid.
