Porto do Açu, located in Rio de Janeiro state, is set to become a hub for low-carbon hydrogen and derivatives with the recent signing of an area reservation contract with Sempen for the construction of a green ammonia plant. The plant, expected to produce one million tonnes of green ammonia annually, is a significant step towards sustainable energy production. The CEO of Porto do Açu, Eugênio Figueiredo, expressed confidence in Brazil's green hydrogen market, citing the approval of a regulatory framework and the national hydrogen program as key drivers for industry growth. With Porto do Açu being the only site in Brazil with a pre-licensed area for a low-carbon hydrogen hub, it has successfully attracted investors and companies looking to capitalize on the country's energy transition. The port's infrastructure, including access to industrial water and deep terminals, further enhances its appeal for green energy projects. Partnerships with renowned companies like Fuella AS, HIF Global, and Yamna demonstrate Porto do Açu's commitment to fostering green hydrogen initiatives. These collaborations are expected to drive the establishment of green ammonia plants and other low-carbon projects in the coming years, contributing to the neo-industrialization of the region. Porto do Açu's strategic position as a private port focused on energy transition positions it as a leader in promoting sustainable industrialization in Brazil, with plans to develop both on-grid and off-grid renewable energy projects to meet international standards. The future looks promising for Porto do Açu as it continues to build partnerships and infrastructure to support green hydrogen production and contribute to a more sustainable energy landscape.
