Port of Suape covers ESG agenda at Intermodal 2023

The Suape Industrial Port Complex is presenting, at the 27th edition of Intermodal South America, its strategies for implementing projects aligned with the ESG Agenda (environmental, social, and corporate management), such as the Cluster TechHub of Green Hydrogen, with a focus on research and production of what is known as the fuel of the future.

Blessed with a strategic location, only five days away from the Panama Canal and with seven northeastern capitals within a radius of 800 kilometers, the Port of Suape is known for its Innovation Program (developed in partnership with the Center for Studies and Advanced Systems of Recife/Cesar) and its modern Master Plan 2035, which will guide the Complex’s growth for the next 12 years.

In addition to keeping 59% of its 17.3 thousand hectares territory as an Ecological Preservation Zone, the Master Plan dedicates areas for the presence of industries, such as a new factory in the Pharmacochemical Complex, a new container terminal, a regasification terminal for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), among other projects that will generate BRL 46.1 billion by 2027 and around 25,000 new jobs.

The Research, Development, and Innovation (RD&I) project, based on a green hydrogen pilot plant developed in partnership with the National Service of Industrial Learning (Senai), is led by CTG Brasil, one of the prominent power generation companies in the renewable energies sector. TechHub Suape is preparing to implement innovative solutions focused on renewable energy generation, production, transport, storage, and management of green hydrogen (H2V). The investment will be around R$ 45 million.

The complex’s management also plans to install a green hydrogen production unit on a commercial scale, with four sets of water electrolyzers in areas located close to the port. When consolidated, the project could become the second largest in the state’s history (the first is the Abreu e Lima Refinery). The fuel is known to be green because it complies with certification standards, with the plant running on 100% renewable energy sources. The perspective is that 2,900 jobs will be generated during the installation of the plant, which has an estimated cost of R$ 22.5 billion.
