Neoenergia and Honda Unite to Drive Green Hydrogen Revolution in Brazil
Brazil, Saturday, 29 November 2025.
Neoenergia and Honda are teaming up to launch Brazil’s first green hydrogen mobility hub, a significant stride towards cleaner transportation. With over €5 million in funding, this initiative aims to position Brazil as a leader in sustainable energy, promoting hydrogen as a viable fuel alternative. By December 2025, the first refuelling station will open, marking a new era in green technologies and eco-friendly transport solutions.
Strategic Partnership and Funding
Neoenergia and Honda have joined forces to create Brazil’s first green hydrogen mobility hub, a landmark development in the country’s energy sector. The collaboration is supported by over €5 million in funding, regulated by ANEEL, aimed at accelerating the adoption of hydrogen technologies in transportation [1][2].
Brazil as a Leader in Green Hydrogen
This initiative aims to place Brazil at the forefront of green hydrogen advancements, leveraging its rich mix of renewable energy sources, particularly hydropower, to produce green hydrogen at competitive costs [2][3]. Neoenergia and Honda’s project is expected to contribute significantly to Brazil’s goals of achieving climate neutrality by 2050 [3].
Infrastructure and Testing
The first green hydrogen refuelling station in Brasília is set to open by December 2025. It will serve as a testing ground for next-generation transport technologies, including Honda’s CR-V e:FCEV vehicles, which will be used to evaluate efficiency, range, and performance over a six-month testing period [2][3].
Challenges and Future Prospects
While the project holds promise, it faces challenges such as limited infrastructure, high fuel cell vehicle costs, and the need for supportive public policies. However, the collaboration could expand hydrogen supply, develop a national production chain, and attract international investment, thus enhancing Brazil’s role in the global green hydrogen market [3].
