In Colombia, state-company EPM signed a contract with the University of Antioquia to lead the studies to analyze the potential of biomass from the main agro-industrial activities in the Urabá subregion for the production of green hydrogen.
In September 2021, Colombia launched the 30-year Hydrogen Roadmap, contemplating that its implementation will require a significant public and private investment effort for the development of infrastructure, transport, and end-uses of multi-emission hydrogen.
In February 2024, the pilot for the production of green hydrogen began at the Aguas Claras WWTP (biofactory), located in the municipality of Bello, north of the Aburrá Valley, according to the report.
The pilot, which is being carried out by EPM and Aguas Nacionales, a subsidiary of the EPM Group, allows the production of 1,800 kilograms of hydrogen per year and is in the process of expanding hydrogen production to up to 3,600 kg/year.
