A Brief Reflection on the First Industrial Revolution in England (1760–1850) and the Energy Transition in Ceará with Green Hydrogen: An Analysis from Political, Economic, Social, and Scientific-Technological Perspectives

<p>Abstract:<br>Background: This study compares and reflects on the key aspects of the First Industrial Revolution and the energy transition process in Ceará in the context of green hydrogen. It highlights the importance of history as a tool for developing a critical analysis of the past, shaping new perspectives in the present. Additionally, it seeks to identify similarities and differences between the two events, providing insights to support the development of green hydrogen in Ceará.<br>Materials and Methods: A qualitative approach was adopted to explore in depth the historical contexts involving England and contemporary Ceará. The research methodology consisted of a literature review, which involved consulting sources classified into two categories: (1) sources on the First Industrial Revolution and (2) sources on the energy transition scenario in Ceará with green hydrogen.<br>Results: The findings suggest possible actions to enhance the energy transition in Ceará, based on a critical<br>analysis of the historical events of the 18th century.<br>Conclusion: By drawing parallels between the First Industrial Revolution and the ongoing energy transition in<br>Ceará, this study provides a historical foundation for understanding the challenges and opportunities  associated with green hydrogen development in the region.<br>Keywords: First Industrial Revolution; Critical Analysis; Energy Transition; Green Hydrogen.</p>
