Atome eyes Brazil green hydrogen fertiliser project as Villeta talks drag on
Atome appears to be widening its green-hydrogen fuel options beyond Paraguay as talks on the Villeta project stall. A fertilizer project in Brazil would still fit the same industrial-decarbonization playbook, linking hydrogen output to lower-carbon ammonia or fertilizer production and testing whether demand can be anchored by an end user.
