Green Energy Park, a Sao Paulo, Brazil-based hydrogen production plant company, raised USD30M in an initial equity funding.

Backers were not disclosed. This initial funding round underscored the interest among a broad range of strategic partners, global offtakers, and financial institutions to commit the resources for building the world-scale hydrogen production and integrated port terminal facilities in Piaui, Brazil. The company has obtained the long-term rights to the hydrogen port terminal facilities in Luis Correia, Brazil.

Led by CEO Bart Biebuyck, Green Energy Park (GEP) is a vertically integrated, renewable energy franchise that shares know-how, technologies, experience, and best practices between its global partners. The company was founded in 2023 with the purpose of producing renewable hydrogen in cost competitive locations with an initial focus on the North-East of Brazil.
