Siemens and GIZ join forces to defossilize industry and decarbonize Brazil’s economy
The initiative takes place on the eve of COP30, which will be held in Belém
(PA), from November 10 to 21, and reinforces Brazil’s role as a global leader
in the climate agenda. Siemens and GIZ already work together across various
technology and sustainability areas. The purpose of the signing is to
strengthen this strategic partnership, focusing on developing joint solutions
for decarbonizing the economy, using natural resources more efficiently, and
expanding clean energy sources — connecting technological innovation with
international cooperation.
The
memorandum focuses on strategic areas for ecological transition, such as the
advancement of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), the use of green hydrogen (H₂V), green steel, and
sustainable data centers, as well as the promotion of green artificial
intelligence and responsible technological and digital training. It also
includes studies and actions directed at industrial defossilization, the
exploration of critical minerals for the energy transition, and supply chain
traceability — including agribusiness.
Among
the agreement’s commitments are the development of innovative pilot projects
focused on technical and commercial feasibility, and the mapping of
opportunities to replace fossil sources with clean and sustainable
alternatives. Technical missions and workshops are also planned to promote
knowledge exchange, strengthen collaborative networks, and identify synergies
between public and private initiatives.
Journey for Climate Action also establishes a
collaborative governance structure to ensure the implementation and monitoring
of initiatives, promoting a sustainable development model based on innovation,
efficiency, and social impact. With this initiative, Siemens and GIZ reaffirm
their commitment to the energy transition and Brazil’s sustainable future,
aligning with global goals for decarbonization and combating climate change.
