Stolthaven Terminals, in co-operation with Global Energy Storage (GES), has been selected as the only ‘potential operator’ to plan, design, build and operate a green ammonia terminal in Pecém, in the State of Ceará, Brazil.
The Port of Pecém Authority (known as CIPP) awarded the rights to the partnership between Stolthaven Terminals and GES after a 15-month tender process involving several other global storage providers. During the next phase of the project, and with the involvement of CIPP and the ammonia producers, the basic engineering of the terminal will be developed before confirmation of the official contract with CIPP.
The development of a green ammonia terminal in the Industrial Export Zone (ZPE) of the Pecém Complex will serve the production of green hydrogen and its ammonia production exports and allow offshore markets to access one of the most globally competitive sources of this renewable energy.
Guy Bessant, President of Stolthaven Terminals, expressed his gratitude to CIPP for awarding the tender to Stolthaven Terminals and their partner, GES. He mentioned that they are looking forward to working with GES, CIPP, and their future potential customers in developing a world-class terminal that will be an integral part of the energy transition.
We are proud of the role we have played in this process. Our co-operation with Stolthaven Terminals has meant that we have jointly developed a fantastic solution for the Port of Pecém, which is also in line with our vision and how we operate our assets around the world.
… said Peter Vucins, CEO of GES
Marcelo Schmitt, General Manager of Stolthaven Santos, added that this is one more step towards executing their strategy for growth and supporting their customers in transitioning to green energy.
To remind, in 2023, Ports of Rotterdam and Brazil’s Pecém signed an agreement for port development, port logistics, hinterland connection and port-related energy projects, such as offshore wind energy and green hydrogen production.
