FRANKFURT, March 13 (Reuters) - German hydrogen firm
Thyssenkrupp Nucera has signed a memorandum
of understanding with Brazilian chemicals maker Unigel to ramp up the capacity of a planned green hydrogen plant to 240
megawatt (MW) from 60 MW.
The signing of the agreement took place during German
Economy Minister Robert Habeck's visit to Brazil and highlights
efforts by Germany to build and export state-of-the-art hydrogen
technology in anticipation of a global boom.
Unigel in January said it would invest up to $1.5 billion in
its complex in the state of Bahia to produce so-called green
hydrogen, the first in the country to do so on an industrial
scale.
