Chile's defense ministry recently granted additional maritime concessions in the Magallanes region linked to green ammonia export projects, reinforcing the country's involvement in the global industrial shift towards sustainability. The concessions, which included projects by TEG Chile and HNH Energy, are part of Chile's growing green hydrogen permitting pipeline, which has seen investments totaling US$25 billion. The projects are crucial for the production of green ammonia primarily used in fertilizer production, with potential for expansion into e-fuels and green hydrogen. The granting of these concessions underscores the complexities and challenges involved in obtaining permits in Chile, with maritime concessions being particularly intricate and time-consuming. However, the recent acceleration of the permit processing, lasting approximately 14 months, signals a positive shift facilitated by government prioritization and coordination among different stakeholders. This effort not only showcases Chile's commitment to fostering green energy projects but also highlights the regional support and shared vision for the benefits these projects will bring to the Magallanes region. The collaboration between state bodies, regional governments, and industry experts, as exemplified by the case of Marcelo Villagrán from Mankuk Consulting & Services, demonstrates the potential for Chile to become a key player in the green hydrogen industry. With numerous hydrogen projects in the pipeline, both for domestic and export markets, Chile is set to play a significant role in the global energy transition, driven by innovation, investment, and strategic partnerships.
