International concern over containing the growing adverse effects of climate change will require substantial efforts over the coming decades to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In Brazil, the transportation sector is one of the main contributors to these emissions, and the adoption of low-emission alternatives such as advanced biofuels and hydrogen will be essential for this sector in the years ahead.
Considering the importance of diversifying Brazil’s alternative energy portfolio, CNPEM focuses on developing biotechnological pathways for liquid biofuels and hydrogen production via electrolysis, using microorganisms, enzymes, and advanced materials.
