On Monday, June 17, 2024, the Pernambuco state government, through its representation at the Suape Port Industrial Complex, signed a memorandum of understanding with Arhyze, a French company specializing in renewable energy and hydrogen production, to develop an ambitious industrial project. This initiative aims to produce green hydrogen, green ammonia, and e-methanol, marking another step toward decarbonization and a fair, green energy transition, emphasizing the potential of low-carbon hydrogen and its production chain.

Arhyze, known for its multifunctional projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, is expected to invest approximately BRL 2 billion in Suape. The project’s first phase will focus on the production of 100,000 tons of e-methanol in a single year, with operations scheduled to begin in 2028.

Suape was strategically selected due to its prime location in Brazil’s Northeast region, positioning it as a hub for industrial production and distribution for the domestic market and for exporting low-carbon hydrogen. The establishment of this industry has the potential to generate substantial employment opportunities through new technologies and investments, promote innovative business models, and integrate the State of Pernambuco into the global value chain.
