PECÉM PORT INKS DEAL WITH CASA DOS VENTOS FOR CLEAN, CERTIFIED POWER SUPPLY

Starting October, Brazil’s Port of Pecém will use renewable energy certified by the International Renewable Energy Certificate (I-REC) under a R$41 million contract with Casa dos Ventos, moving from regulated to free energy market for price stability. This shift supports Pecém’s decarbonization goals, aiming to electrify 100% of its operations, currently at 70%. Equipment like cranes and conveyor belts will rely more on renewable power, reducing emissions from docked ships. With an energy demand equal to a city of 80,000, Pecém is committed to sustainable operations, investing R$15 million next year to bolster energy reliability.
