Water Assessment Study for Green Hydrogen at Port of Pecém in Brazil
Key Ideas
  • RINA to conduct a water assessment study for green hydrogen production at the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex in Brazil, exploring water sourcing strategies like treated effluent reuse and seawater desalination.
  • The study will assess technical feasibility, economic viability, environmental impact, and compliance with local regulations, also focusing on future water demand and infrastructure improvements for community water access.
  • The initiative highlights a commitment to Brazil's clean energy future, with other projects in the area including a green ammonia project by Fuella and the development of a green ammonia terminal by Stolthaven Terminals and Global Energy Storage at the Port of Pecém.
  • Collaboration between RINA, local firm Krypton, and the World Bank-funded study showcases a comprehensive approach to sustainable hydrogen production and infrastructure development in Brazil.
RINA, an Italian engineering consulting and certification company, has been chosen to conduct a water assessment study to support green hydrogen production at the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex (CIPP) in Brazil. This study, funded by the World Bank and in collaboration with local firm Krypton, will focus on securing industrial water supply through two strategies: reusing treated effluent from sewage treatment plants and seawater desalination. The assessment will consider technical feasibility, economic viability, environmental impact, and alignment with local infrastructure and regulations. It aims to provide insights into the environmental impact and water demand at CIPP over the next 5–10 years, ensuring compliance with Brazilian standards and enhancing water access for neighboring communities. Andrea Pestarino from RINA expressed their commitment to delivering tailored solutions, emphasizing the long-term dedication to the region and Brazil's clean energy transition. Additionally, Fuella and the Port of Pecém have partnered to develop a large-scale green ammonia project, while Stolthaven Terminals and Global Energy Storage are collaborating to build a green ammonia terminal. These projects reflect a positive outlook on green hydrogen production and infrastructure development in Brazil, showcasing a holistic approach to sustainable energy initiatives.
