Green hydrogen is emerging as a major alternative when it comes
to taking on climate change. Forbes has called it the
"energy of the future,"1 and Goldman Sachs estimates
that by 2050, the green hydrogen market will exceed US$11 trillion.

In Latin America, Chile is one of the countries that is at the
forefront. In 2020, the nation launched its "National
Green Hydrogen Strategy,"3 and just two years later,
several projects were announced, including:
HyEx, which will produce green hydrogen
for mining; Highly Innovative Fuels
(HIF), to generate fuels based on green hydrogen4; and
Antofagasta Renewable Energy and Mining
(AMER), which will include the construction and
operation of an electrolyser capable of producing around 30 tons of
green hydrogen per day.5
