Chile's comptroller general has approved a new decree, supreme decree No. 13 of 2022, which sets safety rules for fixed hydrogen installations. These rules focus on ensuring minimum safety requirements for facilities producing or consuming hydrogen as an energy resource, such as fuel cells and combustion systems. The decree covers all project phases from design to decommissioning and is in line with Chile's national hydrogen strategy and action plan. On the other hand, a newly greenlit bill in Chile introduces changes to the geothermal concession framework, exempting shallow-depth geothermal projects below 400m and 90°C from concession requirements to promote low-enthalpy systems. This move aims to boost the adoption of geothermal heat pump systems, which can provide heating and cooling for various applications in residential, industrial, and agricultural sectors. Despite the higher initial costs, geothermal solutions are praised for their efficiency, with the potential to reduce energy usage significantly. Heat pumps, like air-source heat pumps, are gaining popularity as an energy-efficient alternative for reducing carbon emissions in buildings. The developments in hydrogen safety rules and geothermal energy showcase Chile's commitment to sustainable energy practices and innovation in the sector.
