Description
Description | Gas Valpo is conducting a pilot project injecting 10% green hydrogen into the natural gas networks supplying approximately 4,600 families in La Serena and Coquimbo, Chile. The project aims to demonstrate the benefits of green hydrogen for home use, contributing to environmental decarbonization. The hydrogen blend started at 3.5%, increased to 5% after adding an electrolyzer, and currently stands at 10%, with plans to reach 15% by 2026. The goal is a fuel mix of 80% natural gas and 20% hydrogen, reducing CO2 emissions by 340 tons per year. The project is monitored by the University of La Serena to ensure compatibility and emission reductions. |
