The Dutch government has unveiled the Climate Fund project for 2024, which includes €28.1 billion for climate spending in the country by 2030. Of this total, €7.5 billion will be allocated to developing the green hydrogen industry, including €300 million for importing the energy source. This could benefit green hydrogen projects in the Port of Pecém, Ceará, Brazil, where the Dutch port of Rotterdam has a 30% stake.
Atlas Agro Fertilizantes, a Brazilian fertilizer company, announced plans to invest $850 million in the construction of a green hydrogen plant in Uberaba, Brazil. The plant, which will be the first of its kind in the country, will produce 500,000 tons per year of nitrogen fertilizers using green hydrogen.
Hydrogen is becoming increasingly important as a resource in the global push towards climate neutrality.

Entergy has broken ground on the Orange County Advanced Power Station (OCAPS), a 1,215 MW combined cycle plant located near Bridge City, Texas. The plant, which would use natural gas initially and transition to hydrogen in the future, would have the ability to use up to 30% hydrogen by volume, potentially reaching 100%. The $1.2 billion project is expected to create nearly $1.8 billion in total economic activity in Southeast Texas.
