The signing of the agreement took place in Belo Horizonte, reinforcing the companies' interest in the national energy market. Thyssenkrupp and Unigel will join forces to expand green hydrogen productivity at the plant under development in Bahia.

During the visit of the German Federal Minister of Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Robert Habeck, to Belo Horizonte, Thyssenkrupp and Unigel signed yet another important agreement for the national market. The companies have a new memorandum of understanding to expand the production capacity of Unigel's green hydrogen plant, under development in Bahia. According to the companies, the plant will be the first at an industrial level to be installed in the national territory for resource production.

Thyssenkrupp and Unigel join forces to invest in the expansion of green hydrogen production capacity at the new plant in the Brazilian market

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

Thus, the company Unigel, which was already preparing for the installation of a resource production plant in the state of Bahia, with a capacity of 60 MW to 240 MW of electrolysis of water, expands its directions in the project.

It announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Thyssenkrupp to expand the green hydrogen production capacity at the new plant.

The signing of the document took place in Belo Horizonte, during the visit of the German Federal Minister of Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Robert Habeck, to Brazil.

The multinational industrial solutions company highlighted that the partnership with Unigel is essential to join forces in favor of sustainability in the global energy sector over the next few years.

According to Thyssenkrupp, the Unigel unit will be the first green hydrogen plant on an industrial scale in Brazil and is expected to be delivered by the end of the year.

This is yet another strong investment by the international market in the Brazilian energy sector, which is preparing for an intensive energy transition in the future.

New Thyssenkrupp and Unigel plant in Bahia will serve customers who want to decarbonize their operations with the use of green hydrogen, highlights companies

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

Thyssenkrupp and Unigel expect the plant to have a water electrolysis 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 destined for customers seeking to decarbonize their operations with the resource. In addition ammonia verde will be used in Unigel's value chain.

Werner Ponikwar, CEO and President of Thyssenkrupp, commented: “Brazil has not only established 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 the development of a hydrogen economy, we are making our contribution to pave the way for the green transformation”.

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