Viridien, previously known as CGG, is moving forward with plans for a multiclient 3D offshore seismic campaign in Uruguay, focusing on specific areas in shallow and deep waters over the next few years. Simultaneously, Uruguay is taking steps to boost its hydrogen industry, with the central government and Paysandú department partnering to establish a committee dedicated to promoting hydrogen development. This collaboration includes various initiatives such as skills mapping, research, training, and community engagement. Notably, HIF Global's substantial investment in a $6.0bn e-fuels project in Paysandú aligns with Uruguay's green energy objectives. The country's aim to reach 1Mt/y of domestic hydrogen production by 2040 involves significant expansion of renewable energy capacity and electrolyzers. Leveraging its access to biogenic carbon dioxide and a low-carbon power grid, Uruguay sees a strategic opportunity in the sustainable aviation fuel market. The article illustrates how Uruguay is strategically positioning itself in both the offshore exploration and green energy sectors to drive economic growth and environmental sustainability.
