Shell joins Brazil’s green hydrogen pilot project
Memorandum of understanding with Port of Acu marks milestone in country’s green hydrogen development, says port’s CEO
Shell has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Port of Acu in Rio de Janeiro to develop a green hydrogen pilot project. The plant will have an initial capacity of 10MW, with the potential for this to rise to 100MW, and is expected to come online in 2025. “This is a project of immense importance not only for Shell and its partners, but also for Brazil,” says Shell Brazil’s president, Andre Araujo. “With this pilot, we aim to promote the entire development of the value chain of renewable hydrogen generation, from the technology suppliers through to the plant’s operation and the training of specialised labour.” Shell will support the project through an investment of $60-120mn this year
