In Brazil, Port of Açu Operações and Yamna 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. Port of Açu is reserving two million square meters for green hydrogen projects. The new area adds to the 1 million square meters already licensed at the port. Privately owned by Prumo Logística and Port of Antwerp-Bruges International, Port of Açu is one of Brazil’s major oil and gas export facilities handling 40% of the country’s oil exports. Yamna plans that the new plant will have a production capacity of up to one million tons per year. It expects to reach the final investment decision by 2027 and start producing its first green molecules in 2030. “We are thrilled to welcome Yamna to Port of Açu for their first green ammonia project in Brazil and look forward to working closely with Yamna to ensure the success of this initiative, which will further position the port as a leader in green hydrogen and ammonia production,” said Mauro Andrade, Executive Director of Business Development at Prumo.
