Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are emerging as crucial players in the global shift towards decarbonization, with a focus on sustainable hydrogen production. The region's advantageous position allows for the production of low-cost hydrogen using renewable energy sources. Governments in LAC are increasingly supporting this transition, recognizing hydrogen as a vital component in reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Green hydrogen, sourced from renewables, is becoming increasingly popular due to its versatility across various industries like steel, chemicals, and transportation. Several LAC countries such as Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, and Uruguay are already making strides in the hydrogen sector, aiming to lead in production and innovation. However, despite the potential, challenges such as infrastructure development, financing, regulatory frameworks, and creating a market demand persist. The use of hydrogen as a fuel, feedstock, and energy carrier is seen as essential for the transition to low-carbon energy systems. As industries and countries seek cleaner alternatives, hydrogen is gaining momentum as a sustainable solution. The article highlights the importance of addressing these challenges to fully realize the potential of hydrogen in LAC and emphasizes the need for collaboration between the public and private sectors to drive the hydrogen economy forward.
