COPEC and INERATEC Collaborate on Sustainable Fuel Production in Chile
Key Ideas
- COPEC and INERATEC signed an MoU to potentially build a Power-to-Liquid plant in Chile for e-Fuels production.
- The collaboration aims to leverage COPEC's market presence and INERATEC's expertise to advance sustainable energy solutions in Chile and globally.
- The partnership signifies a significant step towards reducing carbon emissions and meeting global demand for e-Fuels.
Chile's fuel distributor COPEC and German e-Fuel leader INERATEC have joined forces to work on sustainable energy solutions, particularly in the production of e-Fuels. The two companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to potentially construct and operate a Power-to-Liquid plant in Chile, with the goal of producing 3,500 tons per annum of e-Fuels. This plant is expected to not only serve the local market but also target global markets, positioning Chile as a renewable fuel production hub. The collaboration builds on COPEC's strong market presence in Chile's diesel distribution and INERATEC's experience in building Power-to-X plants. The CEOs of both companies expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting the potential for significant impact on sustainable energy solutions in the mobility sector. The planned facility, to be operated by INERATEC, will enhance the company's existing activities in Chile and strengthen the value chain from production to distribution. The strategic partnerships with National Petroleum company ENAP and construction company Ferrostaal Chile ensure a sustainable and scalable model for e-Fuel production. This collaboration marks a crucial milestone in transitioning towards e-Fuels to drive environmental and economic change. COPEC, a major player in Chile's energy sector, aims to leverage its national presence to drive the country's energy transition towards sustainability. On the other hand, INERATEC, known for its Power-to-Liquid applications, will contribute its expertise in producing sustainable e-Fuels. The partnership between COPEC and INERATEC signifies a positive step towards reducing carbon emissions, meeting global demand for clean fuels, and promoting sustainable energy solutions.
