The role of renewable hydrogen is getting more and more attention in the global pursuit of climate neutrality. The trading potential of hydrogen and its derivatives, combined with the important social and economic benefits of a hydrogen economy, is bringing new players into the hydrogen game. In addition, the global fossil fuel crisis has underlined the need for new energy suppliers and a more diverse industrial market, shifting the spotlight on renewable-rich countries.
Argentina has vast energy resources that position it as one of the potential future exporters of renewable hydrogen and Power-to-X (PtX) products. However, when embarking on the road to becoming one of the world’s hydrogen hubs, certain aspects need to be carefully analysed. Energy infrastructure development, the use of natural gas, certification, and investment needs are among the hot topics currently being discussed at the national level.
This publication aims to contribute to the discussion on the priorities and next steps that are part of the decision-making process to maximise the local benefits of scaling up renewable hydrogen production in Argentina. We also highlight the significant contribution to the global decarbonisation that the country’s potential export of green products can make.
