Meet Hitachi's Green Hydrogen Engineer Who Rocks Both Office and Stage

Meet the multitalented engineer at Hitachi Energy in Brazil, who's making waves both in the office and on stage. This individual, whose name has not been disclosed, is a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion, a skilled bass player, and a key player in the country's green hydrogen projects.

The engineer's journey began in 2010 at Hitachi, where they started in the electrical and mechanical substation design department. Their fascination with engineering was sparked by a love for math and a curiosity about how the world works.

In 2019, they moved to the Power Consulting team in Guarulhos, Brazil. Here, they've been instrumental in Hitachi's involvement in nine out of eleven large-scale green energy projects. Their role involves designing power plant layouts, calculating chemical reactions, and overseeing various operational aspects.

Brazil's unique power grid, with its 27 interconnected states, requires careful analysis of system effects across regions. The engineer's team ensures that the country's energy storage and decarbonization efforts are carried out efficiently.

When not at work, this engineer lets loose as a bass player in three different bands. They cover a wide range of genres, from Brazilian music to classic rock and thrash metal. Their passion for music mirrors their dedication to promoting diversity and inclusion within Hitachi Energy through their role in the local Diversity 360 committee.

The engineer's contributions to Brazil's green hydrogen projects are significant, given that nearly 90% of the country's power comes from renewable sources like hydroelectric, wind, and solar. Their work at Hitachi, combined with their musical pursuits and commitment to diversity, makes them a true force to be reckoned with in both the energy sector and the local music scene.
