Neuman & Esser Opens New Low-Carbon Hydrogen Generator Plant In Brazil
Neuman & Esser opened the expansion of its low-carbon hydrogen generator plant located in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The event was attended by executives, such as the company’s chief executive officer in Brazil, Marcelo Veneroso, the managing partners of the Neuman & Esser – Stefanie Peters and Alexander Peters – and authorities such as the governor of Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema, and the German ambassador to Brazil, Bettina Cadenbach.
With an investment of US$11.55 million, the new unit consolidates the company’s position in solutions for the energy transition and reinforces its commitment to sustainability. The new plant, four times larger than the current one, will occupy an area of (37,674 ft.2) 3,500 m² and will have the capacity to produce up to 70 MW/year of containerized hydrogen generators. The expectation is to increase electrolyzer production by up to seven times compared to current levels, in addition to expanding the packaging capacity of industrial gas compressors, such as hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
According to Veneroso, the capacity of the new facility is just the beginning. “We are prepared to expand as the low-carbon hydrogen market evolves in Brazil and Latin America,” said Veneroso. “Our strengthening strategy covers four fronts of action: manufacturing of gas compressor units, grinding and classification systems for solid materials, hydrogen generators, and specialized services.”
