Brazil is advancing its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives and carbon neutral strategy by developing large-scale green ammonia projects. These projects aim to produce green ammonia, a carbon-neutral fuel, leveraging the country’s abundant renewable energy resources. 

Yamna, a global green hydrogen company, has secured land at the Port of Açu in Rio de Janeiro to develop a green ammonia plant. The facility is expected to produce up to one million tón per year (1 MTPA) of green ammonia, with production anticipated to commence by 2030. This project is part of the port’s initiative to reserve two million square meters for green hydrogen ventures, positioning it as a significant hub for low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives.  

Similarly, Fuella, a Norwegian green hydrogen and ammonia company, has announced plans for a second green ammonia project in Brazil. In collaboration with the Port of Pecém in Ceará, Fuella intends to develop a large-scale facility, capitalizing on the region’s favorable conditions for green hydrogen and ammonia production. This follows their initial project in the country, underscoring Brazil’s strategic importance in their expansion plans.  

These developments align with Brazil’s commitment to ESG principles and its carbon neutral strategy. By investing in green ammonia production, Brazil aims to decarbonize various industrial sectors, enhance energy security, and position itself as a leading exporter of sustainable fuels. The integration of green ammonia into the energy mix supports global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to cleaner energy sources. 

The success of these projects will depend on effective collaboration among stakeholders, including policymakers, investors, and technology providers. As Brazil continues to embrace sustainable energy solutions, it contributes significantly to global ESG goals and the pursuit of carbon neutrality.
