Linde to Increase Green Hydrogen Production in Brazil
Woking, UK, April 18, 2024 - Linde (Nasdaq: LIN) announced today its subsidiary White Martins will build, own and
operate a second electrolyzer to produce green hydrogen for the southeast region of Brazil.
The five-megawatt pressurized alkaline electrolyzer plant will be located next to the company's existing air separation
facility in Jacareí, São Paulo. The new plant will be powered by renewable energy from local solar and wind power
projects to produce independently certified green hydrogen.
Once operational, White Martins' new plant will supply green hydrogen to glass manufacturer Cebrace to reduce emissions
from their glass melting furnaces in Jacareí. It will also meet demand for competitive green hydrogen from existing and
new customers across industrial sectors including metals, food and chemicals, among others. The new plant is expected
to start up in 2025.
White Martins was the first company to produce green hydrogen on an industrial scale with an international
certification in South America, at its plant in Pernambuco in 2022.
"Investing in green hydrogen to supply the industrial heart of São Paulo reaffirms our commitment to the energy
transition in Brazil," said Gilney Bastos, President South Latin America, Linde. "We look forward to helping Cebrace
achieve its decarbonization goals while also supporting merchant customers' transition to lower carbon solutions."
