David Burns, Linde’s Global Vice President, spoke on the signing of the deal with the Government of Ceará. “It gives me tremendous pleasure to be working on this project with you. White Martins already has a (oxygen) plant in Pecém, and now we need to generate environmentally friendly gasoline. Linde has been seeking for a business partner, and Ceará has a lot of promise. “I believe this will be a critical cooperation for the state, Brazil, and Europe,” Burns stated.

In collaboration with the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) and the Federation of Industries of Ceará, the Ceará Green Hydrogen Hub was established this year in the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex (Fiec).
