AES Andes submits EIA for industrial-scale green hydrogen project in Chile

AES Andes has submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to Chilean authorities for its proposed Inna green hydrogen project, which is aligned with Chile’s National Green Hydrogen Strategy. 

The project is in its early stages of development and focuses on producing green hydrogen for both export and domestic use.

In addition, AES Andes has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Samsung C&T to jointly evaluate the development of the Inna project. The partnership will explore opportunities for producing green hydrogen for both the local and international markets. Samsung C&T was recently awarded the contract to build Korea’s first green ammonia terminal.

The Inna project will involve the production of green hydrogen and ammonia, alongside the deployment of solar, wind, and battery storage solutions, aimed at supporting Chile’s increasing electricity demand.
