Abstract

This thesis evaluates the financial feasibility and profitability of constructing an integrated
hydrogen and ammonia production facility in Brazil. Using a mixed methods approach, it
combines primary insights from expert interviews with quantitative capital investment modelling
and international benchmarking. The research addresses the profitability of such a project depends
on the balance between capital costs, operational expenses, and revenue streams. It employs
financial metrics such as Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH), Net Present Value (NPV), Internal
Rate of Return (IRR), and Payback Period to assess economic viability. The findings indicate a
competitive LCOH of $2.10/kg and a robust NPV of $228 million over a 20 year horizon, with a
payback period of 4.36 years and IRR of 23%. These results position Brazil as a cost effective
location for green hydrogen and ammonia production, supported by its abundant renewable
resources and growing market opportunities. This research provides actionable investment insights
and contributes to the strategic planning necessary for Brazil to emerge as a leader in the global
hydrogen economy.
