Where can hydrogen be produced in Latin America?

Although hydrogen can be produced with renewable energy throughout Latin America, in certain countries — such as Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil — the availability of solar, wind or hydroelectric power will make the process more cost-effective.

How much hydrogen does Latin America use?

Latin America uses only 5 percent of this hydrogen, mainly in countries such as Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia and Chile. It is mostly dirty hydrogen, which pollutes the planet due to the processes used to obtain it.

Could clean hydrogen technology be used in Latin America?

According to data from the Inter-American Development Bank, the most polluting sectors in Latin America to which clean hydrogen technology could be applied are transportation (which generates 40 percent of the region’s CO 2 emissions) and electricity and energy (36 percent of emissions). And Chang-Díaz is not alone in his belief in the promise.

Is green hydrogen technology developing in Latin America?
