Casa dos Ventos has a pre-contract signed with Comerc to implement its ammonia and green hydrogen production unit in Complexo do Pecém, in the state of Ceará.

This Monday (5), the Casa dos Ventos and Comerc Eficiência signed a pre-contract with Complexo do Pecém (Cipp S/A), in Ceará, for the installation of a hydrogen and green ammonia production, with its first phase projected to begin activities in 2026. Subsequently, the environmental licensing and basic design phase will come to start the installation, which will be divided into stages.

Green hydrogen production unit will have 60 hectares

The enterprise of House of the Winds it will have a capacity of up to 2,4 GW of electrolysis, generating more than a thousand tons of hydrogen per day, allowing the delivery of 2.2 million tons of green ammonia per year.

Previously, Trade Efficiency and Casa dos Ventos had already signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Ceará and another with Complexo do Pecém (CIPP S/A) to ensure their participation in leading the project.

Signing the pre-contract represents overcoming yet another step. The ammonia and green hydrogen production unit, which will occupy an area of ​​up to 60 hectares in the Ceará EPZ, aims to avoid the monthly emission of up to 430 thousand tons, through the generation of green fuel instead of gray hydrogen, which emits 2.4 kg of CO2 for each kg of gray ammonia produced, thus generating a significant reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG).

According to the new business director at Casa dos Ventos, Lucas Araripe, Ceará is located in a region of efficient and abundant energy resources, alongside a strategic position in relation to foreign trade. Such factors make it possible to export your clean energy in the form of green energy in a much more competitive way on a global scale.

Pecém Complex Hydrogen Hub has 24 memorandums

According to the President of Comerc Eficiência, Marcel Haratz, it is a great pleasure to have the company at the forefront of such an innovative project that is moving towards a sustainable economy, opening up new possibilities for generating wealth for Brazil and generating thousands of jobs.

This is the third pre-contract signed for the Pecém Complex Hydrogen Hub, which still has another 24 memorandums of understanding closed with Brazilian and foreign companies. According to the president of Complexo do Pecém, Danilo Serpa, the company is very pleased with the signing of this pre-contract signed with Casa dos Ventos and Comerc.

This being the third pre-contract that closes for the green hydrogen production on a large scale in Brazil. It is the recognition of essential companies in the market, that is, more players join this strategic energy transition project that has been developed in the state of Ceará since the beginning of last year. O Pecém Complex Green Hydrogen Hub is a reality.

Pernambuco and Ceará also concentrate investments in ammonia and green hydrogen

The Camaçari Complex, in the state of Bahia, has a development project for Unigel to install a green hydrogen plant with the expectation of starting operations next year. The estimated investment in the venture is around US$ 120 million with the aim of generating a production capacity of 10 thousand tons per year.

In Pernambuco, the Port of Suape establishes the production of green hydrogen in a research and development and qualification segment through the innovation cluster. For the director of Environment and Sustainability at the port, Carlos Cavalcanti, the company is very interested in importing.
