The Multinational ABB Has Just Signed a New Contract with Ceará for the Development of a Green Hydrogen Plant at the Port of Pecém.

The Northeast is ahead in the race for green hydrogen production in the country. The Government of Ceará and the multinational ABB signed a memorandum of understanding this week for the construction of a hub for green hydrogen production in the state. According to the company, the goal is for ABB to be one of the main technological partners of institutions and companies involved in advancing this project, which includes the Port of Pecém.

ABB’s participation in the Green Hydrogen Hub will begin with technical feasibility studies for developing a production plant. Being a major reference in equipment for both electric power generation and energy consumption optimization, the company will also provide assets and technology to assist in green hydrogen production, which requires large amounts of energy at more competitive costs.

According to the Manager of the Energy Division at ABB Brazil, Renato Martins, at this point, the company can add significant value to the project in Ceará with its digital energy management solutions, whether it is renewable solar, biomass, wind, or hydro sources, as well as electrical equipment and rectifiers.

Partnership Between ABB and Ceará Aims to Highlight Brazil

The objective of the partners in the Green Hydrogen Hub at the Port of Pecém is to position Brazil as a producer, distributor, and exporter on a global scale. The country has the conditions to be a leading player in the global market, and the topic gained traction with the announcement of the triennial plan of the National Hydrogen Program (PNH2) by the Ministry of Mines and Energy in December.

Although abundant in nature, hydrogen is rarely found in its elemental form. Thus, extraction must be done from raw materials such as natural gas, coal, or oil. Green hydrogen, on the other hand, is extracted through a process of electrolysis of water that uses renewable electric energy sources.

Brazil is one of the countries that generate the most renewable energy in the world and, according to data from Bloomberg NEF, is one of the few that can offer green hydrogen at the lowest cost globally, at US$ 0.55 per kg by 2050.

Ceará Will Become a Powerhouse of Fuel in the Country

In the state of Ceará, conditions for production and export are equally favorable, with high capacity for solar and wind energy generation, availability of land for building a hub, strategic location of the Pecém Complex, water availability through desalination, and many others.

Martins emphasizes that the state of Ceará is doing an excellent job showcasing to the world the benefits of installing projects at the Port of Pecém and attracting those interested in bringing new investments. This creates opportunities for new ventures, in which private companies can be involved, and obtain excellent results from this synergy. He states, however, that the country must promote the implementation of regulations and standards if it wants to become a strong exporter of green hydrogen (H2V) and its derivatives.
