Ambitious proposals to ramp up green hydrogen production in Chile and South Australia have been announced this week, as both look to take advantage growing supplies of renewables to help decarbonise their economies and meet green energy targets.
Chile plans to produce the world’s cheapest green hydrogen by 2030 and have 5GW of electrolysis capacity under development by 2025, the country’s president, Sebastián Piñera, revealed.
“Green hydrogen will allow us to export our renewable energies to a world that is moving rapidly towards decarbonisation and that needs clean and affordable energy,” Piñera said at the inauguration of the Green Hydrogen Summit – Chile 2020 virtual conference.
