FRV Partners with Envision Energy on Green Ammonia Project in Brazil

Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV), a subsidiary of Jameel Energy, has announced a strategic partnership with Envision Energy for the development of the H2 Cumbuco project, a large-scale green ammonia initiative based at Pecém Port in Brazil.

Envision Energy, selected for its experience in integrated renewable energy systems and AI-driven technologies, will contribute to the project’s design and implementation. The partnership includes plans for a green hydrogen facility with up to 500 megawatts of electrolysis capacity, alongside a fully integrated ammonia plant. The facility is expected to begin operations by 2030 and will target markets in Brazil, Europe and Asia.

According to Henry Peng, Senior Vice President and President of Latin America and the European Region at Envision, the partnership aims to demonstrate how energy transition efforts can be practically implemented, while supporting the development of Brazil’s renewable infrastructure.

Envision previously delivered an off-grid green hydrogen and ammonia facility in Dalian, China, which included the company’s first green marine ammonia bunkering operation.

FRV, which manages over 3 gigawatts of renewable and energy storage assets globally, has been active in the renewable hydrogen sector for several years. The company has ongoing projects in Spain supported by public funding and has maintained a longstanding presence in Brazil.

FRV began development of the H2 Cumbuco project in 2023. The project is currently in advanced stages of planning, including engineering work and environmental permitting. It has secured land and water resources necessary for its operation.

Felipe Hernández, Chief Innovation Officer at FRV, stated that Brazil’s geographical advantages and policy support position it as a potential leader in the green hydrogen and ammonia sector. He noted that the collaboration with Envision will support the delivery of clean energy solutions while contributing to Brazil’s environmental and economic goals.

This announcement comes as Brazil prepares to host COP30 and strengthens its position in the global low-carbon economy, focusing on renewable hydrogen and ammonia production for both domestic use and international export.
