en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the first comprehensive green hydrogen hub in Bahia, Brazil, jointly built by PETROGAL BRAZIL (a joint venture between Portugal's Galp and Sinopec), Brazil's HYTRON, and SENAI CIMATEC, was officially put into operation. Located in the SENAI CIMATEC Industrial Park in Camaçari, the project has a total investment of over 40 million Brazilian reais and has received financial support from the Brazilian National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels and the Brazilian Industrial Research and Innovation Company.
The hub integrates "green electricity storage, green hydrogen production, terminal refueling, operational testing, and green ammonia conversion," featuring a water electrolysis hydrogen production system and a renewable energy microgrid. It is also equipped with a vehicle hydrogen refueling station, a hydrogen combustion laboratory, and a green ammonia conversion unit, covering hydrogen applications in three major scenarios: industry, power generation, and transportation. The technical lead of the SENAI CIMATEC project stated that the facility can validate new technological solutions in a pilot environment, driving Brazil's industry towards a more competitive and sustainable transformation.
The innovation of the green hydrogen hub lies in establishing a technology verification pathway for "hydrogen-to-ammonia conversion," providing technical reserves for large-scale hydrogen storage and cross-border transportation. As a national-level green hydrogen innovation platform in Brazil, the project has built a complete industrial incubation system from research and development to testing and application, enhancing Brazil's competitiveness in the global green hydrogen supply chain. As a joint venture between Sinopec and Galp, PETROGAL BRASIL has leveraged Sinopec's mature hydrogen and synthetic ammonia technology reserves, providing both technical and capital support for the project.
The commissioning of this hub has established a landing platform for China's green hydrogen technology, equipment, and engineering services to enter the Brazilian market, and also represents a significant achievement in practical cooperation between China and Brazil in the field of new energy.
