The event was attended by the governor of Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema, and the German ambassador to Brazil, Bettina Cadenbach.

NEUMAN & ESSER – a global company of German origin with almost 200 years in the market – opened the expansion of its low-carbon hydrogen generator plant located in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, last Wednesday, November 27. The event was attended by executives, such as the company's CEO in Brazil, Marcelo Veneroso, the managing partners of the Neuman & Esser group – Germans Stefanie Peters and Alexander Peters –, and authorities such as the governor of Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema, and the German ambassador to Brazil, Bettina Cadenbach.

With an investment of R$70 million, the new unit consolidates the company's position as a leader in solutions for the energy transition and reinforces its commitment to sustainability. The new plant, four times larger than the current one, will occupy an area of 3,500 m² and will have the capacity to produce up to 70 MW/year of containerized hydrogen generators.

The expectation is to increase the production of electrolysers by up to seven times compared to current levels, in addition to expanding the packaging capacity of industrial gas compressors, such as H2 and CO2. According to the CEO of NEUMAN & ESSER Brazil, Marcelo Veneroso, the capacity of the new facility is just the beginning.

"We are prepared to expand as the low-carbon hydrogen market evolves in Brazil and Latin America. Our strengthening strategy covers four fronts of action: manufacturing of gas compressor units, grinding and classification systems for solid materials, hydrogen generators, and specialized services", he says.
