National Strategy for Green Hydrogen
…a plant for the production of e-fuels (e-methanol and e-gasoline). The expectations for the production levels are: 350 tons of crude methanol per year, 130,000 litres of gasoline per year and 16 tons of carbon-neutral liquefied gas from 2022. International agreements: Chile has signed several international agreements with foreign countries to strengthen its hydrogen industry. The countries involved are:- Germany, on 29-06-2021. The joint agreement between the two countries has the objective of enhancing cooperation in green hydrogen project development. Experience and knowledge will be exchanged through the creation of a working group…

Buy Smart project
…information is included in e-procurement platforms, making use of environmentally-friendly criteria free of additional expenditure for buyers. A further area of emphasis is intensive public relations work with the focus on assessment of life-cycle costs. Buyers and environmental managers are being addressed in a targeted manner by means of cooperation with networks. A quarterly newsletter is provided. Free consultations on green procurement have led to supervision of ten pilot projects. This EU-subsidised project is being carried out in Germany by the Berlin Energy Agency and it is being co-financed under the National Climate Protection Initiative.

Electricity Feed-In Law of 1991 ("Stromeinspeisungsgesetz")
…to preliminary suppliers, leading to a total cap of 10%. This way, the total burden from the law was limited for individual utilities and their customers. The 10% threshold was almost reached in certain areas in northern Germany in 2000, which would have created a barrier for the further deployment of wind power technology. The law was considered to be the driving force behind the rapid expansion of wind power technology in Germany. The Renewable Energy Sources Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz EEG) based on the same general principles (but without the cap) replaced the Electricity Feed-In Law in 2000.
