Solatio H2 Piauí

11,4GW green hydrogen and ammonia project to be implemented in 6 consecutive phases every 2 year. COD for first phase in 2028. Situated in Parnaíba in the state of Piauí in northeastern Brazil. The electricity grid holds >90% green electricity which means we can feed the electrolysers directly from the grid and reduce significantly the storage cost. Desalination is not required as we can take water from the nearby Parnaiba river. Port for export under construction in nearby town Luis Correa.
