Fortescue Seeks Viable Opportunities for Green Hydrogen Production

According to the CEO of Fortescue Future Industries Latin America, the company is pleased to announce this new milestone in its work in the country with the government of Ceará and the authorities of the Industrial and Port Complex of Pecém.

This pre-contract for the Hydrogen Hub is the result of the work done in recent months and will allow the company to continue advancing in its pre-feasibility studies for project development. Thus, Fortescue reaffirms its commitment to collaborating with the communities.

In this way, in recent months, the company has begun to deepen its knowledge of the region, its biodiversity, and its communities through environmental and social impact studies. The signing of this pre-contract strengthens the progress of the Green Hydrogen Hub project at the Industrial and Port Complex of Pecém.

Therefore, with the pre-contract signed, the multinational plans to conduct studies and seek to identify viable opportunities for green hydrogen generation and make its best efforts to collaborate with local universities to create research programs to promote technologies related to the fuel.

Green Hydrogen Is the Future of Fuels

Green Hydrogen is emerging as the cleanest energy source for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and thus ensuring a sustainable future for the planet.

According to the study “Scaling Up” by the Hydrogen Council, by 2050, H₂V will represent about 18% of all energy consumed worldwide. Thus, the Government of Ceará developed the Green Hydrogen Hub in February of last year, in partnership with FIEC, UFC, and the Industrial and Port Complex of Pecém.

So far, 18 cooperation agreements have been signed, all aiming to produce and export green hydrogen.
