The Investment by Renewable Energy Producer Qair Will Generate About 1,650 Jobs in the Construction and Operation Phases of Green Hydrogen Plants at the Port of Suape in Pernambuco

The Port Industrial Complex of Suape, located in Pernambuco, launched a public call that will last until the next September 27 for companies interested in installing a green hydrogen plant in the state, shortly after validating the expression of interest for the project by the independent renewable energy producer Qair, formerly Lucia Group. The company expressed interest in leasing an area to produce green hydrogen at the port of Suape, Pernambuco, in March of this year, with a forecast of port movement through Suape of 40,000 tons of liquid ammonia every five days, after the four phases of the green hydrogen project in Pernambuco are completed.

Investments for the green hydrogen plants at the port of Suape, Pernambuco, are estimated at R$ 20.3 billion, and operations are expected to begin in 2025. The lease term for the area at the Port of Suape, Pernambuco (72.5963 hectares) is 25 years, with the possibility of renewal for the same period.

According to Qair’s project, the planning is for about 1,200 direct jobs to be generated during the construction phase and 450 in the operational phase of the green hydrogen plants in Pernambuco.

Green Hydrogen Could Make Brazil a Leader in the Global Renewable Energy Race

For light vehicles, the shift to renewable energy alternatives lies in electric motors and batteries. However, there is an extensive range of critical activities for decarbonizing the economy to which this combo does not apply. This includes large airplanes or ships, which cannot afford to be too heavy or have the luxury of stopping to recharge along the way, and heavy industries like steel production, which depends on burning coal to produce steel. Thus, a fuel of the future is emerging that could meet all these demands: it is green hydrogen.

There are several different ways to obtain this fuel of the future; however, the most promising at present is the one that uses only water and renewable energies.

Both inputs are very abundant here, making Brazil one of the candidates to lead this new sector of the energy industry. Hydrogen, or H₂, is the most abundant element in the universe, but it is not found freely in nature. Some industrial processes are needed to separate the hydrogen molecules contained in other substances, such as water or methane gas.

It earns the classification of green when produced without the emission of greenhouse gases. The world already consumes large quantities of hydrogen, but not green hydrogen.

Currently, the main challenge is refining the technology and scaling up to mitigate the production costs of the fuel of the future. Hydrogen has various names and colors associated with its emissions, such as gray hydrogen (which emits between 11 and 13 kilograms of CO₂ into the atmosphere for every kilogram of hydrogen produced), blue hydrogen, pink hydrogen, among others.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

The military spaceplane that almost took the Cold War into orbit: Boeing X-20 Dyna-Soar was designed to re-enter above Mach 20, fly for up to 40 hours, land like a plane, and transform Titan rockets into a gateway to a new era of orbital warfare.

Foreign tree planted to combat drought invades more than 1 million hectares of the Caatinga, encroaches on riparian forests, and turns an old solution for the semi-arid region into a silent threat to biodiversity.

Hidden in Shenzhen, a Chinese company claims to ship over 20,000 orders a day and promises to turn any dropshipping beginner into a respected brand for just 20 dollars.

Suzuki Fronx emerges as the “compact coupe SUV” that Brazil doesn’t have: priced around R$ 37,000 in a tax-free conversion, the model has a hybrid version, 1.0 turbo engine, bold design, and the price of a popular car in India.

Brazilian promises his children to save a river, creates an eco-barrier in his backyard, has already removed more than 40 tons of trash from the water, and even inspires the idea in other states of the country.
