The Memorandum Signed by the Government of Rio de Janeiro and White Martins Provides for the Introduction of Green Hydrogen into the State’s Energy Matrix

White Martins signed a memorandum of understanding with the state government of Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday, 29, aimed at qualifying the development and implementation of projects to produce green hydrogen in the state. The agreement aims to combine White Martins’ expertise and Rio de Janeiro’s energy potential for the introduction of green hydrogen.

The memorandum between White Martins and the state of Rio de Janeiro was signed with SEDEERI (Secretariat of State for Economic Development, Energy and International Relations of Rio de Janeiro) and plans to include other energy sources, such as green hydrogen, a strategic part of Rio de Janeiro’s energy matrix, in line with global energy transition and sustainability principles.

“White Martins has a dedicated team for the development of green hydrogen business that works closely with Linde’s research and engineering centers. This is a strategic area for the company that is ready to invest in green hydrogen projects in Rio de Janeiro and across Brazil,” said the company’s president, Gilney Bastos.

About the Company

The company White Martins symbolizes Linde in South America, the largest global industrial gas and engineering company. They have approximately 80 thousand employees spread across the globe. The company aims to build a more productive world by implementing projects in various areas of renewable energy, such as green hydrogen.

In South America, the company has approximately 5 thousand employees included in this renewable energy project, and beyond Brazil, White Martins also operates in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.

The company employs cutting-edge technologies to transform air into products and applications that compose people’s lives. Additionally, the company enables industries to operate in a cleaner and more productive way. We help make food tastier. We facilitate the breathing of patients. Furthermore, White Martins provides greater efficiency in production processes.

The Trajectory of White Martins in Brazil

The company has been operating in Brazil since 1912 and created the first oxygen plant in the country. Since then, the company’s history has been directly linked to the development of Brazil’s industries.

The company has four main product lines: atmospheric, chemical, medicinal, and specialty gases, and serves customers of all categories, from small enterprises to medium and large businesses in various sectors of the economy.

The company, which cherishes its past achievements, maintains its pioneering spirit, always focusing on the future and employing qualified professionals for continuous renewal and adaptation to the constant changes in the market and society.

The Trajectory of White Martins in Brazil

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.

The end of total solar eclipses has a deadline: the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, and in approximately 600 million years, it will no longer completely cover the Sun, ending one of the rarest coincidences in the Solar System.

With 40% of all the gold on the planet buried in a single geological basin that is 2.7 billion years old in South Africa, the Witwatersrand still hides R$ 3 trillion in unreachable reserves.

In the depths of the African forest, these rare and terrifying native species dominate rivers, swamps, and treetops with venom, brute strength, lethal teeth, and behaviors that seem impossible in the heart of the wild.

A Brazilian millionaire couple restores a farm over 150 years old in the interior of São Paulo and transforms the historic property with Portuguese tiles, antique furniture, and new spaces into a refuge that blends tradition, comfort, and sophistication.

Submerged city in a lake in Minas reveals intact streets, preserved vehicles, and houses after more than 60 years, impressing divers.

Yellowstone has started to rise again in an area of the caldera, and the movement rekindles fears surrounding the U.S. supervolcano, as scientists monitor the deformation and try to understand what is happening underground.

Woman arrested after receiving $1.2 million due to banking error and not returning the amount.

Beneath Mexico City lies an entire buried Aztec capital, and it all began when workers discovered a 3.25-meter stone disk featuring a dismembered goddess, revealing temples, skulls, and palaces beneath 22 million people.
