Hydrogen is exploding in Chile! The South American nation is well and truly on its way to building a hydrogen society with more than 20 pilot projects already being considered. The nation hopes to take advantage of its unexploited solar and wind capacity with the potential to produce 35 million tonnes per year of green hydrogen by 2050. Although Chile might have higher costs in exports due to the location it could be amongst the world’s cheapest export. It is even looking into hydrogen explosives!

Black & Veatch
A zero-carbon fuel that emits only water, hydrogen’s role in the drive for sustainability can be accelerated by using or adapting significant parts of existing infrastructure to employ hydrogen as a fuel source. This substitution effect means Black & Veatch is already positioned for and delivering progress today across green hydrogen for power generation and storage, advanced transportation and fuel-cell technology, and as a feedstock for green chemicals, as well as the processing of blue hydrogen with carbon capture technology.
