Chile Puts Green Hydrogen Ambitions on Display

Chile has ideal conditions for renewable energy but faces challenges in exporting clean electricity. Green hydrogen, produced using electrolyzers, offers a promising solution. Harooni's plant synthesizes hydrogen with CO2 to create synthetic fuels, aiming to supply eco-friendly gas for vehicles and export fuels for shipping and aviation. The economic stakes are high for Chile and its partners, with potential benefits for communities affected by climate change. However, environmental concerns and permit challenges pose risks to these projects. Chile's government must balance environmental goals with attracting global investments.
