IETA COP26 VIRTUAL BUSINESSHUB - CARBON MARKETS AND GREEN HYDROGEN: SYNERGIES TO REACH DECARBONIZATION

November 2, 2021

Virtual Side Event co-hosted by the BMU, GIZ and the Ministry of Energy of Chile

In recent years, Green Hydrogen has been identified as a crucial instrument for the decarbonization of important sectors of the economy (such as industry, steel production). Green Hydrogen may be a strategic market in a future carbon-neutral economy. The objective of the event is to make visible the opportunities presented using Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and other climate finance instruments to promote technologies based on Green Hydrogen in different industries and sectors, taking as a case of analysis the development of Chile in this area.
