TY - THES A1 - Miralles Delgado, Joaquin Ignacio T1 - Green hydrogen as decarbonization vector for the Chilean energy market N2 - In recent time, the popularity of hydrogen has considerably increased. As a fuel, hydrogen generates a considerable amount of energy with clean water being its only by-product. Green hydrogen could help decarbonize several industries as long as its supply chain is powered by renewable energy sources. Hydrogen is a versatile fuel that can be used for long-term storage as well as for immediate consumption. Unlike fossil fuels, the chemical reaction of hydrolysis is reversible, meaning that electricity can be used for hydrogen production which in turn can be used to generate electricity again. This principle has given rise to the concept known as “Power-to-X”. Chile has high solar irradiation levels in the north of the country, which allows for very cheap solar energy to be produced.
