At HINICIO, we are fostering connections between academia, associations, and government to harness the full potential of hydrogen in advancing the energy transition. By working with them, we help ensure that all stakeholders understand hydrogen's strategic importance and contribute to initiatives that strengthen the sustainable energy ecosystem. In Europe, our team recently participated in the peer review of the International Energy Agency’s #GlobalHydrogenReview 2024, a key annual publication that monitors global hydrogen production and demand trends. In Latin America, we’ve partnered with universities like the University of the Andes in Colombia through the 'ENGAGE: Energy of the Future’ initiative, addressing the challenges and opportunities for hydrogen in the country. Additionally, we conduct specialized workshops for public and private officials in countries such as the U.S., Chile, Germany, Egypt, Belgium, Morocco, Paraguay, Perú, Costa Rica, and Panama, among others, to support informed decision-making and accelerate the energy transition. 🔎 Research, education, and knowledge-building are essential for expanding hydrogen’s role in the global energy landscape.

HINICIO participated in the #ArgusMethanolForum 2024, held in Houston, Texas on September 9-11. Nelson V., HINICIO’s North America Business Development Lead, integrally participated in a four-member panel titled "Using Methanol to Build a Low-Carbon Future: Developing the Supply Chain and Mobilizing Methanol in New Ways." The discussions focused on building optimal infrastructure for methanol production and export, identifying key regions for low-carbon methanol projects, and evaluating the evolving methanol market. Key Takeaways: 🔹Market Recognition of Premium Products: The hydrogen and derivatives market is already beginning to value higher-quality green and blue products. These cleaner alternatives are gaining more recognition, with their benefits becoming increasingly publicized and premiums recognized, making them more widely available. 🔹Growth Prospects for Green and Blue Methanol and Hydrogen: There is growing evidence of potential market expansion for green and blue methanol, driven by technological advancements. As production capacity grows, regulatory frameworks including certification systems for hydrogen and carbon intensity determination will be essential in supporting market development.   HINICIO can help your team navigate the certification landscape, position your product in a premium market, and conduct regulatory (e.g. IRA analysis) and project modeling work. 👉 Contact us at [email protected] to learn more about our services across the North American and global hydrogen and derivatives market.

Renewable and low-carbon hydrogen plays a pivotal role in Chile’s energy transition, and the government has taken significant steps to regulate its production, storage, and consumption. In 2020, Chile emerged as a regional leader by introducing its National Green Hydrogen Strategy. Since then, the country has made significant regulatory advances, including the introduction of the Green Hydrogen Action Plan 2023-2030. On 12 September, the Chilean government presented the Work Plan for Enabling Regulations for the Development of the Hydrogen Industry in Chile 2024-2030. This initiative involves the creation of new regulations and the updating of existing ones, enabling innovative uses for hydrogen across the production chain while facilitating investment in projects for both domestic consumption and export. It outlines coordinated actions across ministries and public entities. During the event, María de los Ángeles Valenzuela Armijo, Manager at HINICIO Chile, led a panel discussion, highlighting the opportunities this initiative presents for the development of Chile’s hydrogen ecosystem. “The plan is crucial as it provides a clear regulatory framework for the hydrogen industry, offering certainty for project development and ensuring the safety of people and their environment. With proper regulation, the burden of processing special permits will be eased for both developers and public institutions, reducing the time and costs associated with implementing new initiatives.” 🔗 Interested in learning more about this plan?

The government of the Netherlands is establishing international collaboration with a wide range of countries, including countries in Latin America, which have a significant potential to become exporters of hydrogen carriers. Dutch stakeholders and ports, such as the Port of Rotterdam, have partnered with Chile and Uruguay to develop hydrogen export corridors. These countries are emerging as key players in the production of renewable hydrogen and its derivatives, with numerous Power-to-X projects underway. This study, prepared by HINICIO for the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Netherlands, provides an overview of EU regulations (RED II and RED III) relevant to the import of hydrogen derivatives. It assesses the local conditions in Chile and Uruguay for compliance with European Union regulations on the certification of Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (#RFNBO), as well as the sustainability criteria that project developers must consider for exporting these products to the EU. 🔗 Read the complete study here: https://lnkd.in/dXWxe_m2 #Hydrogen #HydrogenExport #EuropeanUnion #EU #RFNBO #PtX #LatinAmerica #Uruguay #Chile

At the most recent #LACH2Summit, Luis Miguel Diazgranados, Head of HINICIO Colombia, presented the conference "Exporting Hydrogen Derivatives to the EU: Alignment and Local Context with RED II RFNBO Requirements," in which he shared valuable insights on the key considerations for Power-to-X project developers when exporting to the European market. The Fit-for-55 package and the RePowerEU plan update EU regulations to meet climate commitments, reduce dependence on external fossil fuels, and promote the use of renewable hydrogen. In 2023, the Delegated Acts on Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (#RFNBO) established the conditions for hydrogen and its derivatives to be considered renewable, as well as the methodology for calculating greenhouse gas emission savings. How can developers ensure that their hydrogen and derivatives exports comply with European regulations and remain competitive in the market? 👉 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/emAJ7iNe #EuropeanUnion #Hydrogen #Derivatives #Export #RFNBO

The certification of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen in Latin America has become a crucial issue in ensuring sustainability in hydrogen production and commercialization, especially when considering exports to global markets. At Hyvolution Chile 2024, Nuria Hartmann, Manager of HINICIO in Chile, participated in the panel "Securing Markets: The Importance of Certification for Green Hydrogen Exports." During the event, she shared valuable insights on the #CertHiLAC certification initiative. Promoted by the Inter-American Development Bank and #OLADE, with the technical and strategic support of HINICIO, this initiative aims to establish a certification scheme for Latin America, incorporating socio-environmental sustainability aspects. While these aspects are not required by European regulations for RFNBOs, they are essential for accessing green financing. This regional collaboration aligns with global efforts to foster cooperation among countries, as panelist Laurent ANTONI highlighted, with the objective of harmonizing certification criteria for hydrogen. This will pave the way for the future commercialization of clean molecules in international markets. Additionaly, Hinicio was also present on the exhibition floor of Hyvolution Chile with a booth, where its team of experts actively engaged in key discussions on the development of Power-to-X projects in the region. 🔗 Interested in learning more about hydrogen certification in the LAC region? Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/e7rZCSxe 👉 Contact us at [email protected]. #HyvolutionChile #Hydrogen #Certification #LatinAmerica
