NEWARK, CALIFORNIA, and SANTIAGO, CHILE– Ohmium International (“Ohmium”), a leading green hydrogen company that designs, manufactures, and deploys advanced Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, is pleased to announce a collaboration with Chilean company H2 Green Mining to develop green hydrogen projects to help decarbonize mining operations in the country.
Dr. Maibelin Rosales, a researcher at the Advanced Mining Technology Center (AMTC) of the University of Chile, proposes the advantages of obtaining hydrogen by harnessing direct sunlight and nanomaterials designed from copper oxide and tin oxide.
The first meeting of the Steering Committee of Team Europe Initiative for the Development of Renewable Hydrogen in Chile took place, in presence of the new EU Commissioner for Climate Action, Wopke Hoekstra, the Minister of Energy, Diego Pardow, and the Executive Vice-President of the CORFO, José Miguel Benavente.

First liquefied gas produced with renewable energy, operating at HIF Global’s eFuels facility in southern Chile “Haru Oni”.
The first large-scale eFuels facility in South America involves an investment of USD 830 million and is expected to produce over 173,000 tons per year of eMethanol, with the potential to be converted into 70,000 tons/year of eGasoline and 8,030 tons/year of eLG.
As an export country for green hydrogen, hardly any region is more suitable than the north of Chile. Hamburg-based hydrogen producer Eternal Power is therefore touring the region with local partners to identify suitable areas for the development of large-scale plants.
ENAP signs agreement with six energy companies to generate the largest development of green hydrogen infrastructure in the country.
The innovative project -which considered an investment of close to USD 15 million and was developed jointly with ENGIE- is part of the global commitment assumed by the supermarket to become a regenerative company and zero emissions by 2040.
