The government of Brazilian state Piaui has awarded Spanish developer Solatio a preliminary environmental license for a 11GW solar-and-hydrogen complex.
The company is looking to power green hydrogen production with solar energy. The hydrogen plant is part of an Export Processing Zone in Parnaiba, which would export green fuels to Brazilian companies and to Europe. Solatio plans to invest around €18.7bn in the hydrogen and solar plants in the next five years.
