Low-carbon hydrogen production

A new study by CINE has successfully addressed the challenge of producing efficient, low-cost catalysts based on Earth-abundant chemical elements for water splitting. The method involves introducing defects into an inexpensive material using a simple process. “The catalysts developed in this study represent a promising step toward large-scale low-carbon hydrogen production,” says Professor Juliano A. Bonacin (Unicamp), a CINE researcher who led the research. Learn more.

Representing scientific community in Energy Fund

CINE Director Ana Flavia Nogueira (Unicamp) was appointed a member of the steering committee of the Energy Sector Fund, an agency affiliated with the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation that finances RDI projects in the energy sector. Prof. Ana Flavia will participate in the definition, monitoring, and evaluation of investment plans. She aims to encourage the development of national technologies for a low-carbon economy.
