Proquigel Química, a subsidiary of Unigel in Brazil, has requested an extension of 180 days from the waterways regulator, Antaq, to keep cargoes and equipment for a green hydrogen and ammonia project stored at its urea maritime terminal in the port of Aratu, Bahia. The delay in the project, based at the Camaçari petrochemical complex, is attributed to the economic struggles faced by the company, which filed for judicial reorganization earlier due to financial difficulties. The project, with an initial investment of US$1.5bn, aims to produce 100,000 tons per year of green hydrogen to obtain green ammonia. This initiative is seen as a step towards decarbonization, offering solutions to customers facing sustainability challenges. Green ammonia could serve as a fuel source, particularly for ships, contributing to the sustainability goals of the maritime industry. Moreover, green ammonia plays a crucial role as a raw material for fertilizers and acrylics, aligning with Unigel's focus on expanding its sustainable product offerings. The company's proposal reflects a positive outlook on the potential of green hydrogen and ammonia in addressing environmental concerns while also considering economic factors to ensure project continuity and success.
