Enegix to build US$5.4 B green H2 facility in Brazil

Enegix Energy announced it's plans to build the world’s largest green hydrogen plant in Ceará, Brazil, after signing MOU with the state government. 

Under the terms of the MOU with the state governor Camilo Santana, Enegix will set up the world’s largest green hydrogen plant that will produce over 600 MM kg of green hydrogen per year from already contracted 3.4GW of combined baseload wind and solar power through a partnership with Enerwind.

Base One will be established in the state of Ceará, northeast of Brazil and will provide a strategic location for Enegix’s renewable hydrogen production with direct access to all major international markets via ocean freight. 500 hectares of commercial land has been scoped in the Port of Pecém, a world-class deepsea port with established infrastructure and access to the required quantities of water - to enable the electrolysis process to separate hydrogen and oxygen elements. Enegix’s planned next-generation facility will be run completely using renewable energy with zero emissions and will harness the great renewable energy potential that Ceará has available with solar and onshore and offshore wind to be realized allowing Base One to be expanded to over 100 GW to meet global demand.

The project is expected to take 3-4 years to build. Enegix has signed an MOU with an international engineering firm and technical consultant to undertake a feasibility study, and will soon start the process of obtaining environmental and social licenses.
