Distributed Generation Technologies in South America
Electricity plays a vital role in modern life, and its demand has experienced steady growth worldwide due to population growth, economic development, and urbanization. The electricity systems, based mainly on centralized generation and intensive use of fossil fuels, face significant energy security, sustainability, and climate change challenges. These challenges have driven the search for more sustainable and decentralized solutions for energy generation and distribution, such as distributed generation (DG). DG refers to producing electricity on a small scale and close to the point of consumption, using renewable and non-renewable energy sources. DG has become increasingly popular worldwide due to its multiple benefits, which include reducing losses in power transmission and distribution, decreasing reliance on interconnected power systems with large-scale centralized generation, and promoting clean and renewable energy adoption.

Electrocatalysts for Hydrogen Production
Among the various fuel sources, hydrogen is often referred to as the “fuel of the future”, with a high energy density of 140 MJ kg−1, which is more than twice that of conventional solid fuels (50 MJ kg−1). Typically, electrocatalysts are chosen based on their specific characteristics such as particle size, pore structure, good electrical conductivity with high surface area, and corrosion stability under oxidizing conditions.

Hydrogen Production
Hydrogen is emerging as a new energy vector outside of its traditional role and gaining more recognition internationally as a viable fuel route. Among the most potential renewable energy sources for hydrogen production are solar and wind. The production of H2 from renewable sources derived from agricultural or other waste streams increases the flexibility and improves the economics of distributed and semi-centralized reforming with little or no net greenhouse gas emissions.
