The Chilean government wants to transform our country as the
cheapest green hydrogen producer worldwide and to become a relevant
player in this industry globally.
Green hydrogen can be obtained through hydrolysis. This is a
relatively simple process that consists of separating compounds
from water by means of electrical discharges. In this way H2 and O2
are obtained. For this process to be economically profitable, two
fundamental elements are needed: low-cost electricity and abundant
water.
Chile currently has low-cost electricity thanks to the massive
introduction of non-conventional renewable generation. In the north
of Chile is the Atacama Desert, a privileged place for the
development of photovoltaic plants and concentrated solar power
plants. On the other hand, the southern coasts, as a result of the
strong winds from the South Pacific, are an ideal place for wind
energy generation. This energy generation is currently greater than
the country's consumption
