RCGI is proud to be featured by the Energy Transition Campus Amsterdam (ETCA) as one of its highly appreciated academic members, reinforcing the relevance of international collaboration in advancing the global energy transition. As highlighted by ETCA, the Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Innovation (RCGI) operates at the intersection of research, innovation, and industrial application to deliver tangible solutions for emissions reduction. One notable example is the development of hydrogen production from ethanol, a strategic pathway that addresses global decarbonization challenges. In the words of Renato Picelli, Assistant Professor at the University of S\u00e3o Paulo and Director of Innovation & Technology Transfer at RCGI, building the necessary infrastructure locally has been a key achievement\u2014demonstrating how applied research can translate into real-world impact. Renato also emphasizes the role of ETCA as a platform for global connectivity, enabling RCGI to strengthen ties with international partners and innovation ecosystems worldwide. https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:7421586879868977153\/?actorCompanyId=10503605 This interaction<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Proposals presented by researchers during the USP Pre-COP event reveal the country\u2019s dilemma between exploiting resources that still sustain its economy and accelerating the leap into the post-carbon era. Responsible for most of the world\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuel combustion places the oil and gas industry at the center of the climate crisis.
