FRV, which is owned by Saudi Arabia’s Jameel Energy, will use the Chinese wind turbine maker’s AI-integrated renewable energy system to build the H2 Cumbuco’s 500MW electrolyser plant.

Scheduled to begin output from 2030, the facility will supply both export and domestic markets. It is currently in “advanced development”, including engineering and environmental permitting.

If successful, the project could be expanded to 2GW of electrolysers, producing 1.6 million tonnes of green ammonia per year.

Envision’s AI system, which was recently unveiled at its own green ammonia plant in Dallan, China, supports off-grid production by converting surplus renewable power into liquid nitrogen and electrolysers responding to intermittent energy.

The Chinese firm said the Dallan project was based on a “replicable” model that could be deployed globally at speed.

Henry Peng, Envision’s head of Latin America and Europe, said the FRV collaboration was a “blueprint” for operationalising the energy transition.

“We are excited about the potential that this alliance with Envision can bring to the H2 Cumbuco project, in order to provide clean, competitive, and sustainable energy solutions,” said Felipe Hernández, FRV Chief Innovation Officer.

The development adds to Brazil’s growing pipeline of large-scale green hydrogen projects as the nation looks to use its renewable resources to establish itself as a key export hub.
