Enel Green Power (EGP) Chile has revealed plans for a first-of-its-kind green hydrogen production plant in Chile.
Working in partnership with Chilean power company AME and prospective partners ENAP, Siemens Energy and Porsche, the project will comprise the installation of a pilot plant for green hydrogen production through an electrolyser fuelled by wind energy in Cabo Negro, north of Punta Arenas, in the Magallanes Region.
