Chinese manufacturer integrates the first sustainable hydrogen plant in the brazilian midwest region

On the 25th, the city of Campo Grande (MS) became the stage for a strategic milestone in Brazil’s energy transition. The Chinese manufacturer Guofuhee, through its Brazilian subsidiary, participated in the inauguration of the first Sustainable Hydrogen Plant in the Midwest, installed on the campus of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS). Based on alkaline electrolysis technology with a generation capacity of 20 Nm³/h, the unit was designed as a Research and Development (R&D) platform focused on technical qualification, applied research and industrial innovation in green hydrogen — a key vector of the low-carbon economy.

The plant represents not only a technological advance, but a model of integration between academia, industry and regional development. “With this system now in operation in Campo Grande, we will be able to put our ecosystem to work and meet the technical demand of our customers in the Midwest,” says Pedro Henrique, executive director of Guofuhee in Brazil. According to him, the unit replicates the system already used at the SENAI Indaiatuba technical training center, and reinforces the company's commitment to consolidating a robust, safe and competitive national hydrogen ecosystem.

Cutting-edge engineering and operational safety as strategic differentiators

Guofuhee Brasil was responsible for all stages of the project: from engineering design to construction, assembly, installation, commissioning and operational start-up of the plant. The company also provided complete solutions for hydrogen production and handling systems, strictly adhering to international standards for operational safety and energy efficiency. This is the second 100 kW AWE (Alkaline Water Electrolysis) unit installed by Guofuhee in Brazil, consolidating its performance as a technological reference in the segment.

With this new infrastructure, the Central-West region becomes a strategic part of the national map of sustainable hydrogen, expanding the decentralization of production centers and contributing to the internalization of energy innovation. At a time when Brazil is projecting itself internationally as a potential protagonist in the global hydrogen chain, the progress in Campo Grande is symbolic: it is the combination of international engineering, technological capital and local scientific vocation that will make the country competitive in the race for energy transition.
