LUIS CORREIA PORT INAUGURATED AFTER 50-YEAR WAIT, AIMS TO DOUBLE PIAUÍ’S GDP

More than 50 years after its conception, the state of Piauí gained its first port in Luís Correia on Wednesday (13), on the state’s coast. According to the Secretariat of the Environment, the port is expected to double Piauí’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) within the next ten years. The construction of the port will also play a crucial role in investments in the state’s green hydrogen (H2V) production. Piauí has entered into an agreement with the European Union involving over R$60 billion, which will be invested in Green Hydrogen production. “Here, we will have the grain terminal and also the Green Hydrogen and clean energy terminal, so this terminal will also be used to export the green hydrogen produced in the Export Processing Zone,” said Secretary Daniel Oliveira.
