Eletrobras has agreed to produce low-carbon hydrogen from the Port of Açu in the north of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with infrastructure company Prumo Logística – who operates the port – the two companies want to develop a green hydrogen pilot plant.

In addition, Eletrobras and Prumo will also evaluate the technical, environmental and economic-financial feasibility of installing the plant, along with the use of resources for R&D or public and private financing to encourage related projects.
