Port of Açu Operações (Port of Açu) and YamnaCo have signed a land reservation agreement in the new hub for low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives in the port industrial complex of Port of Açu in the northeast of Rio de Janeiro State to develop a green ammonia project.
The port is reserving 2m sqm for green hydrogen projects and the new area adds to the 1m sqm already licensed. The deal opens up the prospect of a green hydrogen and ammonia corridor linking Brazil with Belgium.
Yamna, targeting a production capacity of up to one million tonnes per year (mtpa), expects to reach the final investment decision by 2027 and start producing its first green molecules in 2030.
