Abstract

The development of the green hydrogen market represents a key opportunity for countries such as Argentina and Chile, not only because of its economic impact, as a source of foreign currency and environmental impact, due to the reduction of carbon emissions, but also as a driver of national sustainable development. Financing in this type of emerging markets is essential due to the existence of high risks and uncertainty. In this sense, this work focuses on exploring the financing programs to develop the low-emission hydrogen market in two countries in the southern cone: Argentina and Chile. It will seek to highlight the successes and obstacles of current programs to promote the productive development of low-emission hydrogen (green, pink or blue) as a vehicle for the energy transition in Argentina and Chile. The contribution of the article to the area is the critical and systemic approach to the current situation of the green hydrogen market, in particular on the dimension of the availability of financing, being a strategic industry for the energy transition and the approach to climate change at an international level.
