Prumo Logística and Fuella Launch Low-Carbon Hydrogen Hub at Port of Açu, Brazil
Key Ideas
  • Partnership between Prumo Logística and Fuella aims to produce hydrogen from clean energy sources, contributing to global decarbonization efforts.
  • Project at Port of Açu to include a 520 MW ammonia production plant with an annual capacity of 400,000 tonnes of hydrogen for export and domestic markets.
  • Investment decision expected within four years, with production slated to begin in 2030, positioning Brazil as a key player in the low-carbon hydrogen value chain.
  • Initiative not only reduces global carbon emissions but also brings positive economic impact through job creation and industrial development in the Rio de Janeiro region.
Prumo Logística and Fuella have launched a low-carbon hydrogen hub at the Port of Açu in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This one-million-square-meter project aims to produce hydrogen from clean energy sources to support the decarbonization of the energy sector globally. The strategic location of the Port of Açu offers logistical advantages for exporting hydrogen, especially to the booming decarbonized energy market in Europe. The partnership formalized in a Memorandum of Understanding includes plans for phased deployment to ensure efficient implementation. The project, in collaboration with the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, involves building a 520 MW ammonia production plant with an annual capacity of 400,000 tonnes of hydrogen. This initiative is expected to supply both export markets and the Brazilian domestic market, with production set to begin in 2030. By investing in low-carbon hydrogen infrastructure, Prumo Logística and Fuella are actively contributing to the global energy transition while enhancing their presence in the clean energy market. The project not only aims to reduce global carbon emissions but also has positive economic implications for the region, such as job creation and industrial development. The success of this endeavor could pave the way for similar projects worldwide, promoting hydrogen as a vital energy carrier in the future.
