GIZ and RP Global have announced a partnership to develop a significant renewable energy project in south Argentina to produce green hydrogen and ammonia for export to the European market. The 'Gaucho Wind to Hydrogen & Green Ammonia' initiative, supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), will involve installing 3GW of electrolysers powered by a 4.2GW wind farm. This setup is expected to generate over 21.3GWh of energy and up to 1.7 tonnes of green ammonia per year. The collaboration includes various assessments, such as a technical and economic analysis of the hydrogen production chain, a study on biodiversity and water in the Santa Cruz region, and an evaluation of existing regulations in Argentina to ensure environmental and social standards are met. Igor Rescec, the Chief Technology Officer at RP Global, emphasized the project's commitment to upholding the highest environmental, social, and safety standards. The initiative aims to benefit local communities while contributing to the broader hydrogen sector. Germany's plan to import a significant portion of its 2030 hydrogen capacity aligns well with the goals of the project. The country's strategy to rely on imports of green hydrogen creates an opportunity for Argentina to become a key supplier. The project, leveraging Argentina's renewable resources, is poised to play a crucial role in fulfilling Germany's green hydrogen needs. Despite ambitious targets, challenges remain for Germany to achieve its 2030 hydrogen capacity goals. Capital costs and the pace of installations are cited as areas that may require adjustments. Germany's hydrogen strategy is seen as aligning with its objectives, but the industry experts emphasize the need for adaptations to address hurdles and ensure successful implementation.
