Brazil is endowed with some of the largest reserves of critical minerals for the global energy transition, such as graphite, nickel, and rare earth elements.

Brazil is at the forefront of the energy transition process and can become the central axis of ‘zero carbon’ global industrial supply chains. Critical minerals play an important role in the production chains and economic development of a country, including the evolution of a low-carbon economy. Brazil has the third largest rare earth reserves in the world, with 21 million tons.

Brazil is in a unique position to become a powerhouse in the green hydrogen sector

New investments in clean and renewable electricity, sustainable low-carbon fuels and sustainable mining for the energy transition could reach R$2 trillion in investments in 10 years. The expansion of the electrical matrix exceeded 7 GW in 2024 — Brazil registered 203 new plants by August, 93.22% of which were wind and solar photovoltaic plants. It is also worth highlighting the National Hydrogen Program (PNH2) and the national Hydrogen policy, established in 2024. It is a Brazilian government project that aims to develop the hydrogen industry and market in the country (read more below). Furthermore, the oil produced in Brazil has a lower carbon footprint than that produced in other parts of the world, which allows the country to be more competitive in terms of emissions.
