ENGIE and the Cear\u00e1 State Government executed today (Oct. 15), at the Cear\u00e1 State Governor\u2019s House, a Memorandum of Understanding on a large-scale green hydrogen project at the Port of Pec\u00e9m.<\/p>\n

The project\u2019s main focus is on green hydrogen exports, but application is also under analysis for heavy mobility, steel, chemicals production and mixed-gas transportation networks, which would enable turning the project into a green hydrogen hub. In addition to fostering the birth of a domestic green hydrogen industry, the project will enable decarbonizing the industries involved. <\/p>\n

Phase one aims to produce 100-150 MW within five years. Additional phases will then develop until a larger scale is reached, in line with the expansion of the domestic and international markets. Given this, ENGIE is open to collaboration with several stakeholders to enable adding momentum to the initiative. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs ENGIE sees it, hydrogen is a strategic decarbonization driver insofar as it enables improved integration across renewables, in addition to helping reduce emissions in industries whose targets are hard to hit. We have the know-how to offer the most efficient industrial-scale green hydrogen solutions in Brazil, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and collaborating to the transition to a carbon-neutral world, which is the company\u2019s purpose,” said Raphael Barreau, Executive Vice-President of Global Businesses of ENGIE Green Hydrogen.
\n\u201cWe are glad to welcome one of the world\u2019s leading energy companies, and I would like to emphasize that we are ready to join forces to build this project as a team,\u201d said Governor Camilo Santana. He went on about the competitive advantages that make Cear\u00e1 a favorable environment for hydrogen production with no carbon emissions. \u201cOur strategic geographic position, our potential to generate renewable energy because of the coastline and year-round sunlight, give Cear\u00e1 a head start producing and exporting the fuel of the future,\u201d he underscored.
\nGovernor Camilo Santana made the announcement in a live broadcast session on the State of Cear\u00e1\u2019s social media channels. The MoU was signed by Cear\u00e1 State Secretary for Economic Development and Labor Cear\u00e1 (SEDET), Maia Junior, and SEDET Executive Secretary Roseane Medeiros. On behalf of ENGIE, aside from Raphael Barreau, the Memorandum was signed by ENGIE\u2019s Communication and Social Responsibility Director Gil Maranh\u00e3o Neto and the ENGIE Green Hydrogen Regional Representative for Latin America Koen Langie. <\/p>\n

The green-hydrogen bet<\/p>\n

Green Hydrogen has been name done of the best bets in the energy transition to a carbon-neutral world. It is obtained through renewable-source electrolysis and can replace fossil fuels in carbon-intensive industries.<\/p>\n

ENGIE\u2019s global goal is to create a strong green-hydrogen position. By 2030, the Company expects to have developed the installed capacity to produce 4 GW of green hydrogen worldwide, and Brazil is a key region in this pursuit, given the Group\u2019s presence in the country and abundant renewable energy.
\nTo foster partnerships and studies in this area, ENGIE recently joined the Brazilian Hydrogen Association (\u201cAssocia\u00e7\u00e3o Brasileira de Hidrog\u00eanio\u201d – ABH2) as the entity\u2019s first member in the energy industry. Worldwide, the Group already has 70 industrial scale green hydrogen projects in operation (20 projects > 50MW) in 10 countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
