    Uruguay is positioned as a promising contender for expanding its renewable and low-emission hydrogen ecosystem in Latin America and the Caribbean. Its significant progress in integrating renewable energy into its electricity grid, combined with government initiatives to establish hydrogen as a growth engine for the national economy, has unlocked a series of incentives that have facilitated investments in production and infrastructure projects. The successful financing and construction of these planned projects will enable Uruguay to quickly ascend to the top ranks. 🔗 Visit our H2LAC Index 2024 to see how this country has evolved in recent years: https://h2lacindex.com/es/ The Hydrogen Index for Latin America and the Caribbean (H2LAC Index) is an initiative developed by HINICIO and New Energy Events LLC. #Hydrogen #LatinAmerica #Uruguay #H2LACIndex #Ranking

    Colombia has a strong-developed regulatory framework that actively promotes the adoption and production of renewable hydrogen in the country. This framework, together with investment initiatives, abundant renewable resources, and private sector interest in developing hydrogen projects, fosters a favorable environment for the development of this market and positions the country as one of the fastest growing in the region.                                                                                              While Colombia shows remarkable progress and potential in developing hydrogen hubs, key challenges such as local demand for hydrogen, guaranteeing the environmental sustainability of the renewable energy sources used in its production, and tackling the high costs that permeate the entire hydrogen value chain, require special attention.

    Last week, #ThyssenKrupp released the RFP documents in its call for tenders for the supply of H2 to its DRI plant in Duisburg, Germany. This call represents the second step in a three-step procurement process expected to end in Q4/2024. Understanding and bidding for such a tender involves complex criteria and rigorous requirements. At HINICIO, we bring the expertise to navigate these challenges effectively. Here’s a quick overview of the tender and how we can assist: Tender Highlights: 🔹Objective: Supplying TKSE’s DRI plant with Low-Carbon or RFNBO H2. 🔹Specifications: For RFNBO hydrogen, according to RED (II/III) and the EU Delegated Acts (renewability and GHG emissions criteria). For Low-Carbon H2, according to the EU Gas Package. 🔹Volumes: 5.6 TWhHHV in the form of hydrogen, equivalent to 142 ktpa. 🔹Delivery schedule: Starting with a 4.1 TWhHHV in 2028 and gradually increasing. 🔹Delivery place and method: At TKSE’s plant in Duisburg, by pipeline using the German Kernnetz or an alternative pipeline. 🔹Delivery molecule: Hydrogen. Suppliers offering ammonia as a carrier will have to guarantee supply of elementary hydrogen via pipeline (integrating cracking into their scope). 👉 HINICIO can increase your chances of success by: 1. Compliance Assessment: Ensure adherence to RED II/III and Gas Package requirements through pre-certification and GHG emission calculation. 2. Optimal Delivery Planning: Choose the best delivery routes and backup plans to mitigate supply chain risks. A reliable delivery planning is crucial to avoid penalty costs associated with failing to meet the supply requirements. 3. Strategic Bidding: Leverage HINICIO’s ANDREA tool and market intelligence for positioning your project on the global competitive landscape and finding the optimal bidding strategy. 4. Techno-Economic Project Optimization: Enhance project setup and business models to meet regulatory and auction requirements with the most competitive cost. The optimization of the carbon footprint of the product is relevant to maximize product value. 5. Bid Development: Full support in preparing and coordinating documentation for submission, ensuring a timely and thorough bid development process. Given the short timeline for submission, our expertise will help you meet all deadlines and requirements efficiently. 🔗Read the full article to learn more about the requirements for this tender and how we can assist you: https://lnkd.in/eBpR7v4X Contact us: [email protected] #Hydrogen #ThyssenKrupp #Germany #CallForTenders

    The Netherlands is establishing strong partnerships with Latin American countries, recognizing their potential in the #hydrogen economy. Dutch stakeholders and ports, like the Port of Rotterdam, are actively involved in developing export corridors for hydrogen produced in the region. #Chile and #Uruguay are leading the way in renewable hydrogen production, with numerous Power-to-X projects in development. This presents a significant opportunity for Latin America to become a major exporter of hydrogen carriers, contributing to global decarbonization efforts. This study analyzes the key requirements of the EU Regulation for RFNBO's and its local applicability in Chile and Uruguay, economies that aim to export RFNBO-compliant molecules to The Netherlands and other EU Member States. It translates EU definitions into local context and raises challenges to facilitate future trade between export and import jurisdictions. HINICIO is happy to have been engaged by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy of the Netherlands, which is actively supported by MIEM Uruguay, to realize this important study. We invite all interested stakeholders in LAC to assist to our free webinar, where we'll present key insights into the study: https://lnkd.in/ee_rThrN Find the full study for detailed insights on how project developers in Chile and Uruguay can get prepared for future H2Global funding windows and to ensure compliance with relevant regulations here: https://lnkd.in/drsC7FZp
