About Us

The State of Piauí, located in the heart of the northeastern region of Brazil, has a total of 251,785,481 km, is home to 3,269,200 inhabitants and has the potential to become a world leading source of Green Hydrogen, promoting energy transition and a net zero future.

Inherently holding the potential for large-scale production of green energy (solar and wind 24hours/day, 7days/week), Piauí already generates all the state's energy through renewable resources. The state hosts the largest wind and solar energy parks in Latin America as well as the largest water reserves of the Northeast in Brazil. ”.

Aware the costs of production of Green Hydrogen is one of the greatest challenges in turning it viable as a new source of power, the Government of Piauí has established a 100% tax free zone 22km from the Porto of Luis Correia and connected to the south of the state through the intermodal logistics corridor. Forming, thus, a truly integrated hydrogen ecosystem - production, transport, distribution, storage, export and domestic use).”.

Not by chance, two of the world's largest Green Hydrogen projects are set to be built in Piauí, each with a production estimated at 10GW at the end of 10 years.”.
