Green Ammonia Terminal Development Boosts Energy Transition in Pecém, Brazil
Key Ideas
- Stolthaven Terminals and Global Energy Storage are selected by the Port of Pecém Authority to develop a green ammonia terminal in Pecém, Brazil.
- The project, aimed at serving green hydrogen and ammonia production exports, involves planning, designing, and operating the terminal.
- The partnership between Stolthaven Terminals and GES is seen as a step towards a world-class terminal that aligns with the global energy transition.
- The cooperation between the stakeholders is expected to lead to the official contract confirmation and further development of the terminal in collaboration with ammonia producers.
Stolthaven Terminals and Global Energy Storage (GES) have been chosen as the potential operators to develop a green ammonia terminal in Pecém, Brazil, by the Port of Pecém Authority (CIPP). This selection follows a competitive tender process and marks a significant milestone in the project's progression. The upcoming phase will focus on refining the terminal's basic engineering in conjunction with CIPP and ammonia producers.
The initiative is poised to support the production and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives, emphasizing the strategic importance of clean fuel infrastructure. Guy Bessant, President of Stolthaven Terminals, expressed gratitude for the opportunity and highlighted the terminal's role in the energy transition. Peter Vucins, CEO of GES, emphasized the collaborative effort that led to the development of a solution aligned with the partners' vision.
The partnership between Stolthaven Terminals and GES, established in 2023, underscores their commitment to operating an export terminal for hydrogen-related products. This venture builds upon a memorandum of understanding signed in 2022 between Stolthaven Terminals and the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex, signaling a long-term focus on storage and handling services for green hydrogen. The project's holistic approach reflects a global trend towards sustainable infrastructure development and positions Pecém as a hub for eco-friendly energy solutions.
