In a pivotal step for Chile’s green hydrogen industry, a National Collaboration Agreement has been signed by the country’s main green hydrogen associations: H2 Chile, H2V Biob\u00edo, H2 Antofagasta, and H2V Magallanes. This landmark event, held in Talcahuano, aims to consolidate a unified national vision by sharing knowledge and coordinating efforts to strategically drive the industry forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The agreement positions the Biob\u00edo region as a central hub for a national green hydrogen vision, allowing different regions to work in a complementary manner, each leveraging its unique characteristics. The Undersecretary of Energy, Luis Felipe Ramos, highlighted that the necessary regulatory and infrastructure foundations are being laid. Meanwhile, Biob\u00edo Governor Sergio Giacaman emphasized the region\u2019s historical role as an industrial hub and its capacity to create a globally competitive hydrogen offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marcos Kulka, Executive Director of H2 Chile, stressed the importance of capitalizing on each region\u2019s strengths: “In Magallanes, we have the winds; in Antofagasta, the solar energy; and here, the entire industrial center.” Javier Soubelet, Manager of H2V Biob\u00edo, underlined the need to move quickly and the region’s versatility to adapt to this new industry. Corfo Biob\u00edo’s Director, Roberta Lama, added that the goal is for green hydrogen not only to be exported but also to transform the local energy matrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Magallanes Governor Jorge Flies and H2 Antofagasta Executive Director Kenis Aguirre both agreed on the alliance’s importance for exchanging experiences and strengthening human capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event also featured a panel discussion on how regional strategies could be integrated into a cohesive national vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event was attended by Karen Kraakman, Consul of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, who reaffirmed Chile’s role as a strategic partner for green hydrogen production and export. Through the Team Europe (TEI GH2) initiative, the Netherlands promotes the decarbonization of the Chilean economy, creating green jobs and new business opportunities for both Chilean and European companies, while meeting Europe’s growing demand for renewable hydrogen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kraakman highlighted that the global hydrogen market requires long-term contracts and that her country\u2019s expertise in logistics, hydrogen value chains, and international ports is key to attracting investment in Chile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
