The Signing of the Agreement Took Place in Belo Horizonte, Reinforcing the Interest of Companies in the National Energy Market. Thyssenkrupp and Unigel Will Unite Forces to Expand Green Hydrogen Productivity at the Plant Under Development in Bahia.

During the visit of the German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Robert Habeck, to Belo Horizonte, Thyssenkrupp and Unigel signed another important agreement for the national market. The companies are working on a new memorandum of understanding to expand the production capacity of Unigel’s green hydrogen plant, currently under development in Bahia. According to the companies, the plant will be the first industrial-scale facility to be installed in the national territory for the production of the resource.

The Brazilian green hydrogen market is becoming increasingly attractive to companies worldwide. The reason: the high production potential of the new bet for the future of the energy market.

Thus, Unigel, which was already preparing for the installation of a production plant for the resource in the state of Bahia, with an electrolyzer capacity of 60 MW to 240 MW, is expanding its scope in the project.

The objective of the multinationals with the new green hydrogen production plant in Brazil is to intensively penetrate the Brazilian sustainability market.

Thyssenkrupp and Unigel expect the plant to have an electrolyzer capacity of 60 MW and an initial production capacity of 10,000 tons/year of green hydrogen.

According to the companies, the hydrogen produced at the plant will be intended for customers seeking to decarbonize their operations with the resource. Additionally, green ammonia will be used in Unigel’s value chain.

Werner Ponikwar, CEO and President of Thyssenkrupp, commented: “Brazil has not only set ambitious climate protection plans but is also implementing them. This includes, in particular, consistently exploring the opportunities offered by green hydrogen… With our technologies for developing a hydrogen economy, we are contributing to paving the way for the green transformation.”

By the end of the year, the market may witness yet another significant growth in the green hydrogen segment with the new plant from Unigel and Thyssenkrupp in Bahia.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

NASA researchers test new material capable of withstanding contact with melted lunar dust, one of the biggest challenges of space missions: technology may help astronauts produce oxygen, fuel, and structures using resources found on the lunar surface itself.

The Brazilian GDP grew by 1.1% in the first quarter and recorded the largest jump in four quarters, but economists warn that the war in the Middle East, high interest rates, and El Niño could slow down the economy precisely in the second half of the year.
