Climate change is an urgent global challenge that requires innovative and sustainable solutions.China, from the government and private sector, has an extraordinary opportunity to collaborate with Chile to unlock the potential of green hydrogen as a clean energy source. This strategic partnership will help combat climate change and position China & Chile as a major global green hydrogen market player.
Chile's Geographic and Renewable Energy Advantages:
Chile's unique geography spans over 4,000 kilometres, boasting diverse climates and extreme geographic features, including deserts, strong winds, volcanoes, and powerful earthquakes. These characteristics provide Chile with an unparalleled capacity to produce renewable energy.
For instance, Its Atacama Desert has the highest solar irradiance globally, and its Patagonian region experiences strong, persistent winds with capacity factors exceeding 60%. These factors contribute to Chile's potential to produce 70 times its current electricity capacity through renewable sources, with 70% renewable by 2030 and 95% renewable by 2050. Moreover, Chile plans to phase out all coal capacity before 2040.
Chile's potential for renewable energy production is enormous, estimated at 1,800 GW—70 times its current capacity. The country's electricity generation matrix is projected to be 70% renewable by 2030, with 95% renewable energy by 2050. This shift to renewable energy will lead to the phasing out of coal capacity before 2040.
Chile's Mining Sector: More than 5 decades of stability and reliability of the private and mining sector in our country
Chile has a strong mining sector, which contributes 14.6% to its GDP. The country is home to several major mining companies, including Codelco, BHP Billiton, Anglo American, Collahuasi, Antofagasta Minerals, Glencore, Freeport-McMoRan, Rio Tinto, Teck Resources, Lundin, Sumitomo, Mitsubishi, Mitsui & Co, and SQM, among
others.
Chile's Competitive Advantages in Green Hydrogen Production:
Chile has numerous competitive advantages when it comes to green hydrogen production. Compared to Australia and other OECD countries, the country's low operational costs make it an attractive destination for investment.
Additionally, Chile has free trade agreements covering nearly 90% of the world's GDP, a stable and open investment regime, and a mature, competitive energy sector.These factors contribute to a favourable environment for green hydrogen production and export.
Chile's strategic location also offers logistical benefits for exporting green hydrogen.Its narrow geography means that the coast is always within reach, reducing the required investment in transmission lines or pipelines. Furthermore, Chile's position at the tip of the Americas enables exports to Europe from Patagonia via the Atlantic or Asia from the north via the Pacific.
Green Hydrogen Opportunities and Market Projections:
Green hydrogen, produced using renewable energy sources, is expected to play a significant role in reducing global CO2 emissions. By 2050, it is estimated that green hydrogen will supply 20% of global energy demand, contribute to 45% of emissions reductions, and generate revenues of $2.5 trillion.
Chile is the most cost-effective location on Earth for green hydrogen production, with costs projected to reach $1.3 per kilo in Patagonia and $1.4 in the north by 2030. This competitive advantage positions Chile as an ideal green hydrogen production and export candidate.
Chile's Ambitious Green Hydrogen Strategy:
The Chilean government has established an ambitious green hydrogen strategy to meet its renewable energy goals.
The Government strategy has set three primary targets:
1. Produce the cheapest green hydrogen globally by 2030.
2. Be among the top three exporters of green hydrogen by 2040.
3. Develop 5 GW of electrolyser capacity by 2025, which will more than double Chile's current solar and wind capacity.
In addition, Chile plans to launch its Emissions Trading System (ETS) platform in 2023,enabling the sale of Carbon Offsets and Carbon Credits in open markets. The Chilean Ministry of Environment has an aggressive plan for carbon credit issuance, opening opportunities to capitalise on various supply chain verticals. Additionally, lower costs for feasibility studies and due diligence facilitate adopting and testing new technologies.
To achieve these objectives, Chile has implemented a comprehensive action plan to accelerate green hydrogen deployment in key domestic applications by 2025 and capture the export market by 2030.
