Team Europe's Green Hydrogen Funding Platform for Chile: Advancing Clean Energy Goals
Key Ideas
  • The European Investment Bank (EIB), along with other European entities, signed agreements with Chile to support the renewable hydrogen industry and help achieve the country's goal of 100% clean energy by 2050.
  • The funding platform will provide up to €200 million in financing to Chile, with additional grants, to support the development of renewable hydrogen initiatives, contributing to the country's decarbonisation and green job creation.
  • The initiative is part of the EU-Latin America and the Caribbean Global Gateway Investment Agenda, aiming to address infrastructure needs, create local value, and promote growth and social cohesion in the region.
  • The collaboration between European and Chilean entities reflects a commitment to sustainability and economic ties, fostering green energy solutions, job creation, innovation, and strengthening EU-Latin America cooperation.
The Team Europe Renewable Hydrogen Funding Platform for Chile, established in Santiago de Chile, aims to support Chile's renewable hydrogen industry and help the country reach its target of achieving 100% clean energy by 2050. The platform, signed by the European Commission, the European Investment Bank (EIB), KfW Development Bank, CORFO, and the Chilean Ministry of Energy, will provide financial support of up to €200 million to Chile, with an additional grant of €16.5 million from the EU Latin America and Caribbean Investment Facility. This initiative is aligned with Chile's ambition to transition to renewable and clean energy sources. The operation is expected to contribute to the development of 150 MW of new renewable energy generation capacity and 150 MW of new electrolysers capacity in Chile. European Commissioner Jozef Sikela emphasized the importance of renewable hydrogen for the future energy landscape, highlighting the collaboration between entities as a strategic resource towards innovative projects. The initiative is praised by various stakeholders, including Minister of Energy Diego Pardow and Executive Vice-President of CORFO José Miguel Benavente, for its potential to create green jobs and support the decarbonisation process. The partnership between Team Europe and Chile is seen as a significant step towards a sustainable future, promoting economic growth, job creation, and energy industry development.
