This paper examines factors such as production, installed capacity and price for green hydrogen and impacts on the local Chilean economy. Green hydrogen is the production of hydrogen using renewable energy sources like solar energy, wind energy and hydropower energy, for being used in transport, electricity sector and industry. Green hydrogen production has some barriers that will be analyzed in this paper such as production prices and lack of policies.
Regarding of production, storage and distribution of green hydrogen can change the way to produce energy and become a way to decrease the CO2 emission. In addition, it can be a new way to increase the income of growing industries and developing countries such as Chile. Chile has a big opportunity due to its location and policies can lead to increase green production and reduce fossil fuel energy dependency.
