This article analyzes the role of green hydrogen (H₂V) in the decarbonization of Brazilian ports, focusing on initiatives such as the projects of the ports of Pecém and Suape. It highlights green hydrogen as an alternative fuel produced by electrolysis of water with renewable energy, aligning with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) climate goals. The survey evaluates benefits, such as reducing emissions, generating jobs and strengthening competitiveness, as well as challenges related to production and infrastructure costs. The study also presents global examples, such as the ports of Rotterdam and Yokohama, that integrate sustainable technologies into operations. It concludes that green hydrogen is a viable solution for Brazil's energy transition, with the potential to lead the global clean energy market.
