Freight transportation decarbonization strategy and green hydrogen & electric recharging infrastructure

Brazil

The objective of this project is to study the main road corridors in Brazil and assess their suitability for the implementation of green hydrogen or electric fueling stations. The study takes into account factors such as the existing infrastructure, the demand for sustainable transportation solutions, the economic costs, the potential of renewable energy sources and the environmental impact. For this purpose, IDOM has developed the following tasks:

• Review the current state of the logistics and freight transport sector in Brazil.
• Analysis of international best practices in multimodal freight transportation with alternative fuels, taking into account associated business models and environmental and social risks
• Mapping possible pilot corridors to implement green hydrogen or electric refueling stations
• Review case studies of comparable green corridor programs in other countries and synthesize underlying business models, applicable institutional and financing arrangements
• Develop a cost-benefit analysis to quantify the level of investment required to operationalize the identified corridors with the necessary fueling and recharging infrastructure and the expected benefits in terms of GHG reductions compared to the current fuel mix/no-build scenario.
• Identify regulatory needs and make proposals for legal, regulatory and institutional reforms for the implementation of the strategy.

Design a roadmap of investments needed to establish the logistics decarbonization strategy.
