The Dutch Multinational Heineken Will Donate R$ 4.5 Million, Which Was Meant for Rock in Rio, for the Construction of an Oxygen Plant

Heineken, a leading multinational in beer manufacturing, will donate part of the investment originally allocated for Rock in Rio to build an oxygen plant in hospitals in Brazil. In partnership with BNDES, both will donate R$ 4.5 million to the project called “Saving Lives.” The donated funds were intended for the rock festival; however, with the worsening of the pandemic, the event was canceled and postponed to 2022.

Investments in the Construction of an Oxygen Plant

Maurício Giamellaro, CEO of the Heineken Group in Brazil, says that we are all going through a difficult moment, which requires an effort of partnerships, whether public or private, to overcome the situation of the pandemic with minimal impacts. According to him, Heineken, which is a well-accepted brand in the Brazilian market, could not fail to contribute in some way during this tough time, and thus the company is working towards the construction of an oxygen plant.

The partnership with the National Bank for Economic and Social Development – BNDES, is part of the agency’s project “Saving Lives”, which is a matching platform where donations from civil society or private institutions are doubled. The cooperation with Heineken in the healthcare system will invest a total of 9 million reais.

Port of Açu May Have the Construction of a Hydrogen Plant

Under the control of Prumo Logística, Port of Açu and Fortescue Future Industries have signed a memorandum of understanding to study the feasibility of constructing a 300-megawatt (MW) green hydrogen plant on-site. The document also includes other solar and wind energy projects in the states of Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo.

The Australian mining company Fortescue, owner of Fortescue Future Industries, plans to construct a green hydrogen plant in Brazil to achieve carbon neutrality goals. The availability of green hydrogen and renewable energy will further promote the sustainable industrialization of Port of Açu.

According to the terms of the memorandum for construction, the hydrogen plant’s production will be used to generate 250 thousand tons of ammonia per year, widely used in the agricultural fertilizer sector. The president of Açu, José Firmo, stated in a joint interview that the hydrogen plant itself will be powered by wind and solar projects. Access the full article here.
