Green Hydrogen in Chile: Energy of Tomorrow
July 29, 2025 To promote, establish, and consolidate a new productive sector, it is not only necessary to have investment, technology, clear regulations, and market conditions. Specialized human capital in quantities aligned with demand is also essential. That is why, as part of the Green Hydrogen Action Plan (PAHV) 2023–2030, which aims to develop an industry around this resource in Chile, six teachers from public…
Trucks with clean technologies are slowly becoming a reality in Chile
July 28, 2025 Currently, the large-scale adoption of electric or hydrogen-powered trucks for long-distance routes in Chile faces significant challenges. The main barrier is the lack of charging and refueling infrastructure. However, over time, this shift will clearly contribute to the sustainability of the transport sector. Chile, with its vast geography and extensive routes, presents unique challenges for freight transport. In this context, the electrification…
Electricity and hydrogen drive the modernization of freight transport
July 28, 2025 Given its extensive geography and complex routes, Chile faces significant challenges in freight transport. To address these complexities and move toward a more sustainable future, the electrification of the sector and the implementation of hydrogen-based technologies are emerging as key solutions. The National Automotive Association of Chile (ANAC) has highlighted a notable increase in the adoption of electrified trucks. In June, and…
How BESS projects are progressing in the national energy ecosystem
July 18, 2025 In recent years, the energy transition toward a more sustainable model, the growing integration of variable renewable sources, and the ongoing decarbonization strategy have all been a key factor. In this context, and with the increasing share of renewables in the national grid, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have become key players in the ecosystem. BESS IN THE NATIONAL ENERGY ECOSYSTEM With…
Do We Really Need More Inertia in the Power System?
July 2nd, 2025 The recent power outages in Chile and Spain have reignited an old technical consensus: that inertia is essential for system stability. Various sectors have argued that the growing penetration of variable renewable energies, such as solar and wind, is weakening the system’s ability to withstand disturbances, due to a lower system inertia associated with the decline of synchronous generators. But what does…
