The Volta green ammonia project in Mejillones, northern Chile, spearheaded by MAE, aims to leverage the region's solar potential to produce green ammonia for the mining sector. The project, currently in the permitting phase, envisions a substantial production rate, supported by a 600MW solar PV plant and battery storage system. Despite facing challenges related to project economics, evening power costs, and systemic charges on the grid, MAE sees potential in combining solar power with storage technology to enhance competitiveness. The project's founder, James Callaway, highlights the importance of achieving low electricity costs to drive industry growth. Falling costs of solar and storage technologies present opportunities for the project's success. Additionally, Corfo's initiatives in offering grants for electrolyzer projects aim to bolster the local value chain and reduce logistics costs. The article emphasizes the positive outlook on the green ammonia project, with a focus on overcoming challenges and seizing opportunities for sustainable growth in the Atacama desert region.
