Christoph Daniel Baum, Andreas Nascimento, Gustavo Henrique Romeu da Silva

 

ABSTRACT:

Objective: The dissertation analyzes economic, political, and environmental scenarios in Germany, Austria, and Brazil, proposing an eco-centric energy policy for national energy security and economic vitality. It evaluates hydrogen’s potential as a sustainable energy source for future deployment. Methodology: Adopting a comparative analytical approach, the study is underpinned by a bibliographic scientific and journalistic literature review. It tackles technological challenges such as renewable energy scale-up, hydrogen production, policy alignment, and financial resourcing through literature review, data collection, and policy engagement. Originality: Research identifies a gap in energy policy synthesis addressing environmental integrity and energy security. It underscores the importance of transitioning to renewable energy and hydrogen technology integration amidst global energy disruptions. Results: Strategic recommendations will have been formulated to scale renewable energy, establish hydrogen production networks, and harmonize policies. It will provide insights for policymakers and stakeholders to advance the energy transition. Methodological Contributions: This study offers a comparative analysis model and policy formulation method across national energy scenarios. It enhances the understanding of sustainable energy transitions facing geopolitical and economic challenges. Social and Environmental Contributions: The dissertation proposes energy policies promoting sustainable development, energy security, and economic resilience. It champions a diversified energy mix, efficiency, and technological innovations for a sustainable energy future.
