Thinking About The Environment And World Fauna, Air Products Creates The Largest Green Hydrogen Project In The World

Brazil Plays A Key Role In Decarbonizing The Planet Due To Its Abundance Of Resources For The Energy Generation Needed For The Production Of Green Hydrogen, Such As Wind And Sun For Wind And Solar Energy, As Well As Hydroelectric Plants – Our Energy Matrix Is 83.7% Renewable.

The partnership between Air Products, thyssenkrupp, ACWA Power, and NEOM consists of the installation of a green hydrogen-based ammonia plant powered by renewable energy in Saudi Arabia. Considered the world’s largest green hydrogen project, this partnership will provide 650 tons of carbon-free hydrogen per day, reducing CO2 emissions by three million tons per year.

The world is experiencing a moment of strategic alignment towards a common goal: decarbonization. Carbon neutrality is the topic of the day, once the role of carbon dioxide (CO2) in global warming has been established.

The mission, therefore, is to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere as soon as possible, and this involves changing the energy matrix in the energy, industry, and mobility sectors.

Many Industries Have Committed To New Processes To Operate Cleanly And Sustainably

The transition is already underway. Many industries have committed to new processes to operate cleanly and sustainably. The same is true in the transport sector. Electric or green hydrogen-powered cars are no longer a projection for a distant future. Several countries already have options for vehicles adapted to these alternative matrices, and the advancement of these technologies should make them increasingly accessible to the general public.

Hydrogen has also been used on a large scale in industries for certain applications and as an energy source. What many people still do not know is that depending on the production process, hydrogen has its categories, divided into three colors: gray, blue, and green. Of these, the most commonly used by industries is gray, produced from natural gas, with carbon dioxide emissions, which contribute to global warming.

Blue requires the consumption of fossil fuels, with carbon capture and storage aimed at having a smaller carbon footprint. It is gradually being replaced by green hydrogen, produced from clean energy such as solar, hydroelectric, wind, or a combination of all these, meaning zero environmental impact. Today, the production of green hydrogen requires more investment than that of blue hydrogen, but recent studies indicate that this cost is decreasing and that green will become the more economical option by 2030*.

Brazil Plays A Key Role In This Global Initiative To Decarbonize The Planet

And Brazil plays a key role in this global initiative to decarbonize the planet in the coming decades. This is because the country is abundant in clean resources for the energy generation needed for the production of green hydrogen, such as wind and sun for wind and solar energy, respectively, as well as hydroelectric plants – our energy matrix is 83.7% renewable.

Committed to decarbonization, Air Products is advancing an initiative for global green hydrogen production. This is the partnership between Air Products, thyssenkrupp, ACWA Power, and NEOM, for the installation of a green hydrogen-based ammonia plant powered by renewable energy in Saudi Arabia. Considered the world’s largest green hydrogen project, this partnership will provide 650 tons of carbon-free hydrogen per day, reducing CO2 emissions by three million tons per year.

Scheduled to start operations in 2025, the NEOM Project will have Air Products as the exclusive buyer of green ammonia, which will be destined for the production of green hydrogen in various international markets, primarily seeking to serve the transportation sector.

The Largest Green Hydrogen Project In The World Will Yield A Completely Clean Energy Source On A Large Scale That Will Eliminate Carbon Emissions Equivalent To More Than 700,000 Cars Per Year

“The partnership between Air Products and thyssenkrupp, ACWA Power, and NEOM is a source of pride. By harnessing NEOM’s unique sun and wind profile to convert water into hydrogen, this project will yield a completely clean energy source on a large scale that will eliminate carbon emissions equivalent to more than 700,000 cars per year. We want to spread the idea of green hydrogen as a fuel produced from clean energy, which does not have negative consequences for the environment, and is available to all countries,” explains Marcus Marinho, General Manager of Air Products Brazil and Argentina.

Recently, Air Products also signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Cummins Inc. for a project to accelerate the integration of hydrogen fuel cell trucks in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Cummins will provide hydrogen fuel cell electric engines integrated into heavy trucks from selected partners for Air Products, which is beginning the process of converting its global fleet of vehicles.
