Port Complex Advances in the Pursuit of Sustainability with Ambipar Operations Base Following Contract with Shell for Green Hydrogen Production

In addition to the current contract with Ambipar for the installation of the operations base focused on ESG practices, Porto do Açu has been increasingly investing in sustainability in the complex. And, on May 19, the port authority announced a venture with Shell, a pilot plant for green hydrogen generation at the port complex facilities that will be built over the next few years.

The unit is expected to be completed by 2025 and will have an initial capacity of 10 megawatts (MW), potentially reaching 100 MW in the future and is part of the investment plan that will involve an outlay between US$ 60 million and US$ 120 million in R&D from Shell for the year 2022. This is because the Porto do Açu region has strong potential for resource production and could become the new focus for companies in the Rio de Janeiro area.

Porto do Açu is a complex developed by Prumo Logística, which offers infrastructure solutions for the Oil and Gas sector and is currently advancing in the pursuit of adopting ESG practices and new sustainability solutions to ensure greater environmental commitment in operations.
