Green hydrogen in Tierra del Fuego AIAS
With the technical assistance of the CFI, the province of Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur advances in an energy transition project.
Argentina has the largest wind reserve on the planet in Patagonia, one of the nerve centers of what will be the production of green hydrogen on a global scale in the coming years.
Hydrogen production has been around for a long time. But producing it "green" means doing it without polluting, without carbon emissions into the atmosphere, the main source of global warming. In this context of necessary transformation of the energy matrix, Tierra del Fuego decided to bet on its natural resources. It has the wind resource and also has its maritime coast, which is essential because water is needed for the process of obtaining hydrogen.
Thus arose the feasibility study around the possibilities of hydrogen that analyzed all the factors: the winds, the topography, the availability of (sea) water and the existing infrastructure. The analysis focused on the costs of the green and blue hydrogen production chain and derived products, in terms of competitiveness and logistics. And from the study it emerged that the most promising alternative is one of the by-products of green hydrogen: 'green ammonia'. That is, production of hydrogen from clean energy and its local conversion into ammonia, a fertilizer with multiple uses in food production and which is in strong demand worldwide.
