In Argentina, Infobae reported that Chilean president, Gabriel Boric, presented the Green Hydrogen Action Plan, a set of 80 measures with which Chile seeks to reduce the installation and production costs of green hydrogen by 2030, and thus become one of the main exporters in 2040. “The energy transition for many countries is a difficult challenge and a heavy burden in terms of reconversion, but for Chile it is an opportunity for growth that we cannot miss,” Boric said. The plan will be implemented in two stages. The first, between 2023 and 2026, will establish the conditions that allow the development of the industry “by defining environmental, social and labor standards”, in addition to having an “efficient” permit system, promoting scientific research in the industry and advancing in tax and financial incentives, stated a note from the Presidency. From 2026 to 2030, the second stage will be implemented, which will contemplate regulatory territorial planning instruments, local development, citizen participation and the preparation of human capital for the production of green fuel. The Chilean Government seeks to have between 10 and 12 confirmed green hydrogen projects before end of 2025. Currently, there are more than 50 projects under study by different companies, according to the report.
