Green energy hub

AmmPower Corp will deliver its unique green ammonia technology to the liquid bulk terminal ‘Porto Central Energy Terminal’ in Espírito Santo, moving clean hydrogen and ammonia throughout the region and delivering energy power to the national grid and internationally.

“AmmPower’s technology will allow Porto Central to use green hydrogen and ammonia as fuel for the large ships at its port, as well as the small tugboats and other machinery at site,” said Dr Gary Benninger, CEO, AmmPower.

“Furthermore, the ability to help provide clean power to Brazil’s national grid and produce clean fertiliser for their large population presents a huge opportunity.”

Energy hub

Porto Central is being developed as a new deep-water multipurpose industrial port complex, with access to highways, future railways and other infrastructure.

Currently in development, Porto Central will accommodate different types of terminals and industries that will efficiently serve strategic economic sectors, such as oil and gas, energy generation, offshore support, agriculture, mining, container, general cargo and industries. It will serve an extensive hinterland in Brazil, as well as enable shipping routes around the world.

Covering over 20 million square metres, Porto Central will serve as one of Brazil’s newest deep water industrial port complex, allowing for 25 metre drafting for some of the world’s largest vessels.

AmmPower is a resource exploration company with an increasing focus on clean energy based in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
