據海上風能網7月4日報道，巴西礦業和能源部以及能源研究辦公室(EPE)在最近更新了能源生產監管框架之后，發布了該國海上風電規劃圖的新版本。根據路透社最近的一份報告顯示，該國政府還計劃到今年年底確立海上風能和綠氫的監管框架。

新的海上風電路線圖現在包括根據巴西關于區域規范化、管理、租賃和處置的法律，分配聯邦區域用于海上風電開發的考慮因素。

于2020年首次發布的該規劃圖，確定了巴西各州沿海地區700吉瓦的海上風電潛力，而世界銀行從2019年開始的估計顯示，該國的技術潛力為1228吉瓦：浮動風電為748吉瓦，固定風電為480吉瓦。

路透社6月27日報道，巴西能源部長Alexandre Silveira透露，該國政府計劃到今年年底通過海上風能和綠色氫的監管框架。

去年，巴西政府頒布了一項法令，允許在該國內陸水域、領海、海上專屬經濟區和大陸架內識別和分配物理空間和國家資源，以開發海上風電項目，這是巴西向海上風電邁出了重要的第一步。

各能源公司對在該國水域建造海上風力發電場也表現出了極大的興趣。

到目前為止，已經向環境和自然資源研究所(IBAMA)提交了74份與海上風電項目有關的環境調查許可申請，所有擬議項目的總容量接近183吉瓦。

許多項目都是由歐洲開發商提出的，包括油氣巨頭道達爾能源公司、殼牌和Equinor，以及浮動風電開發商BlueFloat和Qair。

綠氫也是一些提案的一部分，例如Iberdrola在巴西的子公司Neoenergia的提案，該公司計劃在巴西的三個州建造3吉瓦的海上風電場，其中包括南里奧格蘭德州，該公司早些時候與該州政府簽署了一份諒解備忘錄，以開發海上風電和一個生產綠色氫氣的項目。

向IBAMA提交的海上風電申請之一來自H2 Green Power，這是一家綠色氫氣開發商，該開發商還與Ceará政府簽署了一項協議，在Pecém工業和港口綜合體生產綠色氫氣。

Qair在巴西這個州也有海上風電計劃，其也與Ceará政府簽訂了一項協議，用海上風電為Pecém工業和港口綜合體的一個綠色氫能廠供電。

Brazilian Government Ramps Up Work on Offshore Wind, Green Hydrogen

Brazil’s Ministry of Mining and Energy and Energy Research Office (EPE) have published a new version of the country’s offshore wind roadmap following recent updates of the regulatory framework for energy generation. According to a recent report by Reuters, the country’s government also plans to establish a regulative framework for offshore wind and green hydrogen by the end of this year.

The new offshore wind roadmap now includes considerations regarding the assignment of federal areas for offshore wind development in accordance with Brazil’s law on regularisation, administration, leasing and disposal of areas .

First published in 2020, the roadmap identifies 700 GW of offshore wind potential off Brazilian states’ coasts, while World Bank’s estimates from 2019 put the country’s technical potential at 1,228 GW: 748 GW for floating wind and 480 GW for fixed-bottom.

Reuters reported on 27 June that Brazil’s Energy Minister Alexandre Silveira revealed the government planned to pass a regulatory framework for offshore wind and green hydrogen by the end of this year.

Brazil took its first major step forward on offshore wind last year, when the government issued a Decree which enables the identification and assignment of physical spaces and national resources within the country’s inland waters, the territorial sea, the offshore exclusive economic zone, and the continental shelf for the development of offshore wind projects.

The country has also received a show of massive interest from energy companies into building offshore wind farms in its waters.

So far, 74 applications for environmental investigation licences in connection with offshore wind projects have been submitted to the Institute for the Environment and Natural Resources (IBAMA), totalling almost 183 GW of capacity across all the proposed projects.

Many of the projects have been proposed by European developers, including oil & gas majors TotalEnergies, Shell, and Equinor and floating wind developers BlueFloat and Qair, with Brazil’s Petrobras teaming up with Equinor.

Green hydrogen is also part of some of the proposals, such as that from Neoenergia, Iberdrola’s subsidiary in Brazil, which plans to build 3 GW offshore wind farms in three Brazilian states, including Rio Grande do Sul, where the company had earlier signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the State Government to pursue the development of offshore wind and a project for the production of green hydrogen.

One of the offshore wind applications filed with IBAMA is from H2 Green Power, a green hydrogen developer which had also signed an agreement with the Government of Ceará for green hydrogen production at the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex.

Qair, which also has offshore wind plans in this Brazilian state, also entered into an agreement with the Ceará government to power a green hydrogen plant at the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex with offshore wind.
