Latin America and the Caribbean Hydrogen Market Analysis by Application Areas, Upcoming Projects, Policies and Key Players
Powered by ![]()
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
Latin America and Caribbean is currently a minor player in the global hydrogen market, accounting for a 1% share of global active production capacity. The region does however have vast renewable potential which can be leveraged to produce cost-competitive low-carbon hydrogen and derivatives. However, overall greater policy support and incentives are required to mitigate the impact of the macroeconomic challenges in the region, such as high inflation, and encourage investment and demand in the industry.
Despite being a nascent industry within LAC, the region is being viewed as a future hotspot for green hydrogen production because of its vast renewable potential. Yet, significant investments into scaling renewable and hydrogen production capacity will be necessary to realize this opportunity.
Although the LAC region currently holds a small share of global active (1%) and upcoming capacity (8.9%), the region’s hydrogen market has experienced a notable uptick in activity in recent years.
In terms of application areas, transport remains the dominant end-use industry for low-carbon hydrogen in LAC, with around 1.6mtpa of capacity expected to be allocated by 2030. Synthetic fuels are also emerging as a notable end-use industry, with 20 active and upcoming projects in the region.
Where previously LAC’s hydrogen industry has been limited by a lack of clear policy support, gradually more countries in the region are proposing and implementing national hydrogen strategies and supporting funding initiatives to accelerate the development of low-carbon hydrogen production and foster growth in hydrogen market demand. Chile’s Green Hydrogen Action Plan, Brazil’s National Hydrogen Program, and Argentina’s National Strategy for the Development of the Hydrogen Economy are all key examples of LAC countries’ efforts to accelerate the development of respective low-carbon hydrogen industries.
