Ten milestones in 2021 - Hydrogen roadmap & Geothermal projects
…regions, in three strategic axes: 1) Energy Transition, 2) Energy security and 3) Mining diversification and formalization.
Among these objectives, one is to develop a hydrogen roadmap & the implementation of geothermal energy:
- A hydrogen roadmap for the next decade will be made public in the first half of 2021, with the support of the Inter-American Development Bank;
- Three geothermal pilots will be developed in the Eastern Plains.
A new hydrogen roadmap from the Ministry is currently being presented for public consultation, including targets for 2030 (achieving an installed electrolysis capacity of 1GW), boosting hydrogen demand in vehicles etc… -
