Germany’s Rostock Port and Brazil’s Port of Pecém have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop a transport corridor for green hydrogen, ammonia, and other clean fuels. The two-year agreement will support investments in Ceará’s Pecém Industrial and Port Complex (CIPP), one of Brazil’s most advanced green hydrogen hubs, while anchoring Rostock as an import and distribution point for Eastern Europe.

“Pecém is developing into Brazil’s central hydrogen hub. Rostock is one of the future ports for green energy in Germany. Together we can ensure that the energy transition does not stop at borders, but is thought of internationally,” said Jochen Schulte, Germany’s State Secretary.

Rostock Port Managing Director Gernot Tesch added: “For us, the cooperation with Pecém is a strategic partnership. This will enable Rostock to further expand its role as an important energy production and import port. At the same time, we are gaining access to one of the most exciting locations for green energy worldwide.”
