Brazil plays a key role in decarbonizing the planet as it is abundant in resources to generate the energy needed to produce green hydrogen, such as wind and sun for wind and solar energy, in addition to hydroelectric plants – our energy matrix is 83,7% renewable.
The partnership between Air Products, thyssenkrupp, ACWA Power and NEOM, consists of the installation of an ammonia plant based on green hydrogen, powered by renewable energy in Saudi Arabia. Considered the largest green hydrogen project in the world, this partnership will deliver 650 tons of carbon-free hydrogen per day, reducing CO2 emissions by three million tons per year.

The world is experiencing a moment of alignment of strategies towards a common goal: decarbonization. Carbon neutrality is the agenda of the day, once the role of carbon dioxide (CO2) in global warming has been confirmed.
The mission, therefore, is to reduce the emission of CO2 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 taking place. 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 into the distant future. Several countries already have vehicle options adapted to these alternative matrices and the advancement of these technologies should make them increasingly accessible to the general public.
Hydrogen has already been used on a large scale in industries for some applications and also as an energy source. What many people still don't know is that depending on the production process, hydrogen has its categories, divided into 3 colors: gray, blue and green. Still, the most used by industries is gray, produced from natural gas, with the release of carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming.
Blue requires the consumption of fossil fuels, with carbon capture and storage in order to have 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 of these, that is, with zero environmental impact. Today, manufacturing green hydrogen requires more investment than blue, but recent studies indicate that this cost is falling and that green will become the most 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 generating the energy needed to produce green hydrogen, such as wind and sun for wind and solar energy, respectively, in addition to hydroelectric plants – our energy matrix is 83,7% renewable.
Committed to decarbonization, Air Products is moving ahead with an initiative to produce green hydrogen on a global scale. This is a partnership between Air Products, thyssenkrupp, ACWA Power and NEOM, for the installation of an ammonia plant based on green hydrogen, powered by renewable energy in Saudi Arabia. Considered the largest green hydrogen project in the world, this partnership will deliver 650 tons of carbon-free hydrogen per day, reducing CO2 emissions by three million tons per year.
Scheduled to start operating in 2025, the NEOM Project will have Air Products as the exclusive buyer of green ammonia, which will be used for the production of green hydrogen in several international markets, seeking to provide priority to the transport sector.
The world's largest green hydrogen project will yield a massively clean energy source that will eliminate carbon emissions equivalent to more than 700.000 cars a year
“Air Products' partnership with thyssenkrupp, ACWA Power and NEOM is a source of pride. Harnessing NEOM's unique sun and wind profile to convert water to hydrogen, this project will yield a large-scale, fully clean energy source that will eliminate carbon emissions equivalent to more than 700.000 cars a year. We want to expand the idea of green hydrogen around the world as a fuel produced from clean energy, which does not bring consequences for the environment, and 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 supply hydrogen fuel electric motors integrated into select partner heavy trucks to Air Products as it begins the process of converting its global fleet of vehicles.
