FreePower Group Initiates Construction of Green Ammonia Plant in Northern Chile
Key Ideas
  • FreePower Group commences work on a 350,000 mt/yr green ammonia plant in Chile's Tarapacá region.
  • Chile's defense ministry grants maritime concessions for green ammonia plants in the Magallanes region.
  • Sociedad de Inversiones Albatros authorized to construct maritime logistics infrastructure.
  • European and North Asian importers of low-carbon ammonia and hydrogen facing competitive challenges.
Chilean developer FreePower Group has officially begun the initial phases of constructing a 350,000 metric tons per year green ammonia plant in the northern region of Tarapacá. This initiative marks a significant step towards producing sustainable ammonia in Chile. In a separate development, Chile's defense ministry has recently awarded three maritime concessions linked to green ammonia projects in the southern Magallanes region, indicating a growing interest in eco-friendly ammonia production across different parts of the country. Additionally, Sociedad de Inversiones Albatros has received approval to establish and operate maritime logistics infrastructure, further supporting the growth of the green ammonia sector in Chile. However, challenges lie ahead for importers of low-carbon ammonia and hydrogen in Europe and North Asia as they encounter increased competition in these markets. Overall, the progress in green ammonia projects in Chile reflects a positive trend towards promoting renewable energy sources and sustainable practices in the region.
