Tracking Chile's Green Energy Ambitions

Chile is poised to play a significant role in meeting global clean energy needs due to its favorable conditions for renewable energy. Despite challenges in exporting clean electricity, Chile is focusing on green hydrogen production, which is expected to become cost-competitive by 2030. The Haru Oni plant is pioneering synthetic fuel production by combining green hydrogen with captured CO2, aiming to supply eco-friendly fuel for transportation. However, environmental concerns and the need for careful planning pose challenges to the expansion of green projects in Chile.
