In the South American state of Chile, a consortium of oil companies and leading utilities are considering the purchase of a proposed integrated renewables hydrogen factory. Other potential investors come from abroad, namely AustriaEnergy and Ökowind EE, who are encouraged by the interest shown by potential domestic off-takers including oil companies and utilities.
The proposed installation could have between 1.8 GW and 2 GW of onshore wind plus a 1.4 GW capacity electrolyser. It will employ the Haber-Bosch process to produce millions of tonnes of hydrogen and ammonia by 2026 when it will be fully operational.
