Norway's Fuella AS has contracted thyssenkrupp Uhde to execute preliminary front-end engineering and design for two green ammonia facilities in Brazil. Located at the ports of Pecém and Açu, each plant is engineered to generate 400,000 tonnes of renewable ammonia annually, accelerating South America's clean energy export capabilities.
German engineering conglomerate thyssenkrupp Uhde has secured preliminary front-end engineering and design (pre-FEED) contracts from project developer Fuella AS to advance two industrial-scale green ammonia production sites in Brazil. The twin initiatives, designated as the PeGA project at the Port of Pecém and the AçuGA project at the Port of Açu, are designed to output 400,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year at each location. The initial development phase centers on architectural optimization, foundational engineering design, and commercial viability structuring for the clean energy facilities, which will operate entirely on renewable electricity.
Fuella AS is a specialized developer focused on green ammonia production and hydrogen-based energy solutions across Europe and emerging international hubs. Meanwhile, thyssenkrupp Uhde operates as a global chemical engineering and technology provider, offering specialized licensing, industrial construction services, and proprietary chemical process solutions.
This bilateral agreement marks a significant milestone in establishing Brazil as a high-volume hub for low-carbon chemical exports to international markets like Europe. By embedding these production units within deepwater logistics hubs like Pecém and Açu, the infrastructure minimizes maritime supply chain friction and capitalizes on Brazil’s highly competitive domestic wind and solar power generation assets. For the broader chemical and shipping sectors, these projects validate the scalability of commercial-grade green hydrogen derivatives, offering heavy industry and maritime transport viable decarbonization pathways. Investors and engineering firms should note that the successful progression of these pre-FEED studies will likely catalyze subsequent procurement tenders, technology licensing agreements, and localized infrastructure investments across South American renewable energy corridors.
