Could Chilean Wine lead a Green Hydrogen initiative?
Currently, the alternative use of energy sources that do not use oil or its derivatives represents one of the greatest challenges for humanity and the wine industry is no exception.
In this scenario, green hydrogen has attracted attention as a crucial energy solution that is generating important investment movements towards different geographical areas, where Chile is innovating due to all the support and structure that is being carried out thanks to the public-private union.
Produced from renewable sources, #GreenHydrogen is presented as a clean alternative with the power to transform key sectors, such as industry, transportation and others.
Context: Green hydrogen is obtained through electrolysis, using electricity from clean sources to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike gray hydrogen, which depends on fossil fuels and generates polluting emissions, green hydrogen is completely carbon-free. According to data from Statista, green hydrogen projects have increased exponentially, and BloombergNEF projects that, by 2050, this fuel could meet up to 24% of global energy demand, becoming a trillion-dollar industry.
Chile in the Race for Sustainable Energy: Chile has emerged as one of the key players in this global race towards clean energy, with an ambitious national strategy for the development of green hydrogen. The country, with its vast solar and wind energy potential, is perfectly positioned to be a competitive leader in the production of this resource. Initiatives such as the electrolysis plants in Bahía Quintero and the H2V projects with Engie and Walmart demonstrate Chile’s commitment to this energy change.
Furthermore, Chile has a strategic advantage in terms of exporting green hydrogen. With key international markets such as Asia within reach and advanced port infrastructure, the country is well positioned to become a leading global exporter. According to the Ministry of Energy, it is expected that by 2030, Chile will be among the three main exporters of green hydrogen in the world.
The key to success is not limited to production. The Chilean government has promoted research and development in this field, working hand in hand with universities and technology companies to improve the efficiency of the electrolysis process and reduce costs.
At AmixTechLab.com we are available to promote projects related to the adoption of disruptive technologies in this sector thanks to the trajectory of its Founder, Max Morales, who has links with investors in Europe and the United States who could evaluate investing in the country.
Furthermore, with its focus on innovation and export of national talent and attraction of new ideas from markets as complex as Texas and London, AmixTechLab offers an ideal environment for startups and established companies to collaborate in synergy in order to accelerate the path towards a more sustainable future in other areas where Green Hydrogen is used.
It should be noted that Chile is facing a unique opportunity, to be the world leader in green hydrogen thanks to its combination of natural resources, infrastructure, investment and national and international collaboration, to lead this energy revolution. The challenge is great, but with determination, innovation and strategic alliances, the country can not only achieve its decarbonization goals, but also become a key driver for sustainable development globally.
Green Hydrogen vs Chilean Wine?
In this sense, it is worth noting that any Green Hydrogen project that is established could develop a Social Innovation initiative aimed at highly specialized and niche Wine Tourism, in addition to being the central or alternative energy source.
This is why AmixTechLab.com is proposing to meet the requirements of economic reactivation projects in the communities around the future installation areas of projects of this type.
The high specialization in this type of projects was achieved after between 2003 and 2009, Max Morales worked in the territories of Salamanca in the Coquimbo Region in the vicinity of Minera Los Pelambres – to implement the Tourist Route of the Choapa Valley where The theme of “Chacolí” wine was integrated with sport fishing, trekking with archeology, the objective of which was to strengthen tourism in the area.
Also, I implemented a CSR project in the Itata Valley for Celulosa ARAUCO that had as its objective the edition and printing of the Book «Viñas del Itata, a history of five centuries», in addition to the design of the corporate wine label, which gave life later to a wine arm of the company.
In the real estate sector, in 2008, Max Morales carried out consulting in strategic communications for the companies Pared Sur, ebco s.a, Inmobiliaria Bosquemar and the launch of the OLAS real estate project. In the vicinity of San Pedro de Atacama, Andes Wines carried out the commercial evaluation and projection of the Toconao Wine, subsequently continuing in other projects in the south of Chile.
In addition, Max worked for several years as a Wine Specialist on the National Geographic Explorer and Endeavor Cruises, in addition to the Silver Cloud Expedition Ship, promoting a clear view of shipping and port development, since he sailed from Callao-Peru to Buenos Aires, including the Archipelago of Juan Fernandez, linking with large shipping, industrial and conservation businessmen.
The future of green hydrogen is here, and Chile has the opportunity to be the one to lead the way to a cleaner planet. Are we ready for the challenge?
