Brazil Hydrogen Fuel Cell Market Forecast by 2033

Market Size in 2024: USD 94.10 Million
Market Forecast in 2033: USD 488.90 Million
Market Growth Rate 2025-2033: 20.10%

The Brazil hydrogen fuel cell market is projected to surge from USD 94.10 million in 2024 to USD 488.90 million by 2033, registering a CAGR of 20.10%. Federal green-hydrogen subsidies, port decarbonisation mandates and heavy-duty truck trials are steering investment across electrolysers, storage and fuel-cell systems nationwide.

Brazil Hydrogen Fuel Cell Market Growth Drivers

National Green Hydrogen Policy Allocates BRL 8.2 Billion in Tax Credits

The 2025–2029 programme grants 20% tax credits for electrolyser manufacturing and 15% for green-hydrogen production above 5 MW. Developers have already pre-registered 2.4 GW of projects in Ceará and Bahia, while equipment suppliers are localising stack assembly to capture credits. The fiscal stimulus is accelerating capex cycles and expanding the addressable market for Brazil hydrogen fuel cell components.

Port Decarbonisation Mandate Requires Zero-Emission Cargo Handling by 2028

ANTAQ’s 2025 rule obliges ports to cut diesel use 50% by 2028, driving demand for hydrogen-fuel-cell reach-stackers and forklifts. The Port of Santos has ordered 42 fuel-cell trucks and a 10 MW on-site electrolyser, creating a guaranteed offtake of 1,800 tonnes of H₂ per year. The infrastructure commitment is steering OEMs to offer leased fuel-cell fleets, reinforcing volume growth within the Brazil hydrogen fuel cell market.

BNDES Finances First Green-Hydrogen Corridor for Heavy Trucks

The national development bank approved BRL 1.6 billion in 2025 to build a 600 km H₂ corridor linking Ribeirão Preto to the Port of Santos. The route will include four 350 bar refuelling stations capable of serving 350 trucks daily. Forward contracts for 2,000 fuel-cell tractors have been signed by logistics operators, anchoring long-term demand across the Brazil hydrogen fuel cell ecosystem.
