Shell and Acu port in Brazil agree for developing pilot green hydrogen plant

Shell and Brazil’s Acu port have agreed to develop a green hydrogen generation pilot plant at the port’s facilities, located in the northern region of the state of Rio de Janeiro.

Under the terms of a memorandum of understanding, the pilot plant, which is expected to be ready in 2025, will have an initial capacity of 10 MW and could reach 100 MW by 2029, following the expansion plan of the unit.

the produced hydrogen will be destined for storage and subsequent shipment to potential consumers, while the remaining hydrogen will be used for the production of renewable ammonia.
