Located in the Industrial Complex of Camaçari (BA), the project, in its first phase, will have a production capacity of 10 thousand tons/year of H2V and 60 thousand tons/year of green ammonia, aimed at the domestic market. In the second phase of the project, scheduled to come into operation by 2025, the company is expected to quadruple the production of green hydrogen and ammonia.
