The Acu Port, Located in São João da Barra, in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Is Negotiating the Installation of New Pulp Factories in the Industrial Park
The Acu Port, located in São João da Barra, in the northern part of the state of Rio de Janeiro, is conducting studies with Embrapa Territorial to attract pulp factories to its industrial park, which is still in the formation phase. The idea is to identify areas near the port suitable for forestry, as the state of Rio has already identified 290,000 hectares in the northern part of the state with reforestation potential.

New Pulp Factories May Set Up at Acu Port
Acu Port is in talks with several companies that may eventually be interested in setting up a pulp factory in the industrial area, which occupies 60 square kilometers. Currently, the main Brazilian exporters of paper and pulp are Suzano, Klabin, Votorantim, CNP, and Eldorado. The studies from Embrapa, which aim to understand the viability of the project, are expected to take 120 days.
Although Acu Port is responsible for 25% of oil exports and is the third largest iron ore terminal, the industrialization project of the Acu Port complex aims to base itself on sustainable projects, with low carbon emissions and clean energy generation.

Recently, the Site Requests License for the Construction of Offshore Wind Farms
Acu Port, located in São João da Barra, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, has initiated the environmental licensing of offshore wind farms with 2,160 MW of installed capacity and intends to attract one or more partners to develop the four Ventos do Açu parks. According to information, the initial data has already been sent to Ibama.
“Just as we were a base for the oil and gas industry, we can be a base for offshore wind and green hydrogen production. Offshore wind generation will be of significant importance for green hydrogen in Brazil,” said Filipe Segantine, manager of Sustainable Business Development at Acu Port.

The use of green hydrogen as an energy source is estimated to attract investments of up to US$ 500 billion by 2030, and the development of this technology will bring a series of opportunities for Brazil, especially for the state of Rio de Janeiro. Acu Port, in São João da Barra, may receive some green hydrogen plants in the future.
In the country, green hydrogen projects total US$ 22 billion. Acu Port is betting on this production, utilizing water and wind and solar plants that should be installed in the area. Filipe Segantine, manager of Sustainable Business Development at Acu Port, says that “It opens a range of low-carbon production options, also with the use of ammonia, which has greater hydrogen transport potential. We are participating in the development of this technology and market.”
Giorgio Luigi Rossi, coordinator at Firjan Internacional and one of the mediators of the series “Hydrogen Routes: Future Energy and Opportunities for Rio,” says that it is a unique opportunity to discuss this extremely relevant topic for the industry and its international competitiveness. The European Union and the USA have ambitious carbon emission reduction targets by 2050 and will turn to hydrogen, the executive analyzed.
