By Pierre Bertrand Unigel said Tuesday that it is installing three 20-megawatt standard electrolyzers from Thyssenkrupp AG’s Thyssenkrupp Nucera as part of a $120 million investment in green hydrogen.
The Brazilian chemical company said that in the first phase of the project, the standard electrolyzers will form a new green-hydrogen production plant in the Camacari Industrial Complex. The plant will have an initial production capacity of 10,000 tons a year of green hydrogen and 60,000 tons a year of green ammonia, the company said. In subsequent phases, the company said it has plans to quadruple green-hydrogen production by expanding the electrolyzer plant to a multi-hundred-megawatt facility. The new factory is expected to employ more than 500 people and supply the steel, oil-refining and e-fuels industries, Unigel said. Write to Pierre Bertrand at…
