Enegix Energy has signed a memorandum of understanding with global engineering and construction firm Black & Veatch, based out of the US, to complete the feasibility study for Enegix's announced Base One green hydrogen plant in Ceará, Brazil.
 
Enegix Energy (Enegix) is developing Base One, a green hydrogen project in cooperation with the State Government of Ceará, an investment of $5.4 billion. This will be the world’s largest green hydrogen plant that will produce over 600 million kg of green hydrogen per year when fully operational in 2025.
 
The scope of works includes technical design, supplier and technology selection, planning of execution, project time schedule, risk assessment, logistics strategy, and procurement strategy. Black & Veatch was selected because of its experience with major gas and hydrogen projects. 
 
Wesley Cooke, Enegix Founder and CEO, said: “Black & Veatch’s team has the capability to assess all aspects of the project, with transferable skills that cover hydrogen production, handling, transportation, storage and distribution following the highest standards for safety and efficiency. Black & Veatch is well-positioned to provide these type of services, contributing to the transition of fossil fuels to hydrogen.”
 
“Hydrogen project developers and investors need confidence in the quality of the advice they receive. The most complete analysis will come from partners with expertise in hydrogen, renewable energy generation, and the complex interfaces between them that define projects like Base One,” said Gary Martin a Managing Director with Black & Veatch’s Oil & Gas business. “Facilities such as the one proposed by Enegix in Ceará are at the heart of making hydrogen a core component of a zero-carbon global economy; so we are excited to be in a position to contribute.” –Tradearabia News Service
