AB - The energy transition has decarbonization as its central focus, but it is also possible to observe other direct impacts on the ecosphere. The objective of the research is to analyze the main socio-environmental impacts of the production, use, and commercialization of green hydrogen in ports, having as a case study the Port of Pecém, in the state of Ceará, which has a pioneering Green Hydrogen Hub project. The research question is: what are the main impacts of replacing fossil fuels with green hydrogen in port operations at the Port of Pecém? The methodology is based on literature review, secondary data analysis, expert consultation, and mapping of the productive chain. It is observed that green hydrogen can bring opportunities for job creation, income, scientific and technological development, resilience in the energy matrix, as well as reduction of air pollutant emissions, especially particulate matter and nitrogen and sulfur oxides for the metropolitan region. However, technical-economic and financial challenges persist. The research provides recommendations for improving environmental, urban, and industrial public policies.
