AES Chile submits EIA for $10 billion green hydrogen and ammonia project

December 26, 2024 |

In the UK, Fuels Cells Works reported that AES Chile has submitted the Environmental Impact Study (EIA) for the INNA project, its first industrial-scale green hydrogen and ammonia initiative in Chile. The project, located in Taltal, Antofagasta region, which is in an initial development stage, is aligned with Chile’s National Green Hydrogen Strategy. “Although this project is in an early stage of development and the investment decision will have to be made later, the presentation of the EIA is a fundamental step to ensure the viability of the initiative,” said Javier Dib, General Manager of AES Andes. To support this project, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between AES Andes and Samsung C&T, a Korean company with experience in energy and construction. The two companies are currently evaluating the joint development of the project, focusing on opportunities to produce green hydrogen for domestic consumption or for export to international markets. The project submitted to the SEA includes the production of green hydrogen and ammonia, as well as the development of solar, wind and battery storage energy, according to the report.
