Exploring Hydrogen Markets, Episode 2 - Brazil & Morocco

Ashurst’s Yann Alix is joined by Moroccan lawyer Gahlia Mokhtari and Brazilian lawyer Ana Carolina Calil to discuss the evolving hydrogen strategies, regulations, incentives, and major projects taking place in their respective countries. With Brazil’s government getting behind hydrogen, Ana explains new legislation regulating the main guidelines on low carbon and green hydrogen public policy. She highlights opportunities for foreign investors including tax incentives, R&D activity and a solid legal framework – not to mention a sophisticated and attractive energy transmission market. She also flags some challenges to watch out for, including capex, technology and litigation risks. Meanwhile, Ghalia zooms in on Morocco, which is seeking to become a regional hub for green hydrogen through substantial investments in renewable energy sources, notably solar and wind, to achieve energy independence. Ghalia describes Morocco’s evolving regulatory landscape and foreign investment incentives, as well as potential barriers and challenges.
