Accelerating the clean hydrogen economy in Latin America

This report examines how Latin America can leverage its abundant solar, wind, and hydroelectric resources to become a key player in the global clean hydrogen export market while helping to address energy security concerns and drive economic growth across the region. It analyses challenges these countries face in developing their clean hydrogen economies, including: low demand for clean hydrogen (linked to a high price premium), slow pace of infrastructure development, limited local capacity in technology and skills, and a lack of standards and certification. The report then presents a roadmap to overcome these barriers, with enabling measures spread across four categories: technology evolution and R&D; standards and certification; markets and financing; and matching supply and demand.
