Germany’s Rostock Port and Brazil’s Port of Pecém have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop a transport corridor for green hydrogen, ammonia, and other clean fuels. The two-year agreement will support investments in Ceará’s Pecém Industrial and Port Complex (CIPP), one of Brazil’s most advanced green hydrogen hubs, while anchoring Rostock as an import and distribution point for Eastern Europe.
“Pecém is developing into Brazil’s central hydrogen hub. Rostock is one of the future ports for green energy in Germany. Together we can ensure that the energy transition does not stop at borders, but is thought of internationally,” said Jochen Schulte, Germany’s State Secretary.
Rostock Port Managing Director Gernot Tesch added: “For us, the cooperation with Pecém is a strategic partnership. This will enable Rostock to further expand its role as an important energy production and import port. At the same time, we are gaining access to one of the most exciting locations for green energy worldwide.”
The partnership builds on earlier MoUs between Pecém, Rotterdam, and Duisport to expand the Ceará–Europe green corridor, designed to supply Europe with green hydrogen, ammonia, and e-methanol. By linking renewable production in Brazil’s northeast with consumption markets in Germany and beyond, the corridor aims to reinforce European energy security while accelerating Brazil’s energy transition and generating local economic growth.
