en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brazilian industrial process engineering company Clark Solutions has received an innovation award from the Brazilian Funding Authority for Studies and Projects (FINEP), securing an investment of BRL 9.5 million from the agency. This initiative aligns with the National Hydrogen Program (PNH2), which aims to position Brazil as a global leader in the production and use of low-emission hydrogen. The technology is unique in its use of a modular, domestically manufactured system that operates under optimized temperature and pressure conditions and supports distributed production, enabling the direct utilization of currently wasted renewable energy near consumption points.
Breno Avancini, R&D Manager at Clark Solutions, stated that this achievement demonstrates the innovation capacity of Brazilian industry. The award validates the company's long-term strategy and its pursuit of industrial decarbonization, showcasing the ability to build globally competitive solutions from Brazil, contributing to a stronger and more independent industrial chain.
The technology has significant potential for positive environmental impact. In addition to replacing fossil fuels in energy applications, it can utilize surplus renewable energy (curtailment reduction), improving the efficiency of the power system. Target markets include green ammonia, fertilizers, oil refining, and the steel industry. The project is currently in its advanced stages, with a semi-industrial prototype under construction, ranging in capacity from 150 to 220 kilowatts. According to the timeline, by the end of 2026, the initiative will advance to an industrial scale, equipped with electrolyzers exceeding 1 megawatt; subsequently, throughout 2027, testing and calibration activities will be conducted under real operating conditions to validate the technology's performance before market entry.
The project's approval by FINEP is a decisive step for Clark Solutions in building a domestic supply chain. The expert stated that this progress validates the potential of Brazilian engineering on the international stage. Clark Solutions aims to prove that Brazil can lead globally with its own technology, building a strong and strategically independent manufacturing base for the global market.
