Live Panel & Q&A Chilean Mining Companies on Hydrogen Opportunities

Wednesday, October 7, 2020 1:30 AM to 2:15 AM · 45 min. (Africa/Abidjan)

Information

Strong government support combined with a number of industry-led initiatives to develop hydrogen technologies for mines has positioned Chile as another global centre for the technology’s advancement. How are Chilean mining operators advancing real-world applications of hydrogen? This session will provide key updates from Chilean mining, hydrogen and government experts. 

  • What are the latest developments in Chile’s hydrogen market and the implications for mines?
  • Which hydrogen applications hold the best near-term opportunities for Chilean mines?
  • What types of hydrogen initiatives and projects are Chilean operators interested and involved in? 
  • What are the main challenges for commercializing  and deploying hydrogen for mines here? 
  • Which Chilean test sites and initiatives provide the most insight for mining operators? 
  • What types of funding opportunities are available to mines initiating hydrogen projects?
  • Are there opportunities for Chilean and Australian mines to collaborate on hydrogen initiatives? 
ENGIEENGIE Accelerating the Decarbonization of  the Mining Industry ENGIE relies on a broad portfolio of expertise to provide the mining industry with a complete range of services, combining technical, economic and environmental performance. We associate know-how in many technical engineering areas to support greenfield and brownfield projects, to provide green, competitive energy supply and improved performance of the mining operations. In line with the low-carbon economy and social responsibility targets, ENGIE also proposes additional solutions to decarbonize mining activities and facilitate a sustainable integration of mining projects in local communities and environment. ENGIE also supports industrial actors in their integration of new technologies or their investment in digital transformation by proposing innovative solutions. ENGIE invites you to be part of our open innovation approach. ENGIE Develops Renewable  Hydrogen Renowned as one of the world’s foremost energy operators and a world leader in the energy transition, ENGIE has the ambition of being a major player in hydrogen. At ENGIE, we firmly believe that hydrogen is the key that will unlock the full potential of renewables and carbon-neutral energy solutions. It will accelerate the energy transition by allowing various green energy technologies to be used with much greater flexibility. We are committed to developing solutions based on renewable hydrogen, produced by electrolysis using a green energy supply. Hydrogen is the missing link for a decarbonized ecosystem, allowing for the harmonious progress of cities, territories and societies around the globe. ENGIE aims at operating across the entire value chain of renewable hydrogen, from carbon-neutral power generation to the three key end uses:  mobility, industry and energy storage. ENGIE will architect and deliver reliable and sustainable green solutions to address its clients’ requirements for more environmentally responsible energy uses. Specifically, for the Mining sector, green hydrogen can be used as a fuel for the heavy-duty mobility applications, such as mining trucks, locomotives and ore carriers. It can also be used to produce heat and to act as a reduction agent, within mineral processing, such as the production of Aluminium and Steel among others. Furthermore, it can be used as a feedstock for the production of chemicals used in the mine such as ammonia, hydrogen peroxide for example. And last but not least, by having an integrated hydrogen infrastructure within the mining ecosystem, it will also provide storage and flexibility to its electrical system, enabling its 24x7 decarbonization, while ensuring a reliable power supply.
