The Latin America and the Caribbean Hydrogen Network (REDLAC-H2) is a forum for dialogue and independent work that brings together the Hydrogen community in the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region and the rest of the world, with the aim of accelerating the development and use of Hydrogen in the countries of the region in a sustainable, sustainable and inclusive way.
Hydrogen is the most abundant element of our planet and the Universe
LAC DATA
4.1
MT
Total hydrogen production is around 4.1 million tonnes (MT) in the LAC Region, which represents 4% of global demand. Most of hydrogen is produced by steam methane reforming (SMR) technology, which it is well known as Grey Hydrogen. Countries with major hydrogen production in the LAC Region are: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago, and Mexico.
8.0
M USD
The Hydrogen trade market in the LAC Region is heavily weighted towards imports, accounting for 8.0 million US dollars ($USD) at the end of 2023; imports mainly come from the United States. The largest importer of hydrogen is Mexico, followed by Colombia, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, and Chile.
11
Roadmaps
Eleven countries of the LAC Region have published Hydrogen Roadmaps or Strategies, which are a milestone to accelerate the use of Hydrogen in the region; countries with roadmaps in place are Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Trinidad and Tobago, Panamá, Argentina, Ecuador and Bolivia. Countries like Peru, Mexico and Guatemala are under its elaboration process.
The LAC Region is making significant progress in the development of policies and infrastructure for hydrogen projects; primarily Green Hydrogen. Eleven Hydrogen Roadmaps or Strategies have been published in the LAC Region, where the main objective has been the development of this technology to accelerate the decarbonization of sectors, economic growth, and better jobs.

Federal Court suspends license for 3 GW Green Hydrogen project
January, 2026
Plans for a 3GW green hydrogen and ammonia plant in Brazil’s northeast are now under review for downscaling or conversion into a major data centre complex after a federal court ordered work on the project to stop over environmental licensing concerns. The federal court in the State of Piauí suspended installation licenses for solar developer Solatio’s large-scale green hydrogen plant at the request of the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office (MPF).

Green Hydrogen makes headway in Mexican freight transport
January, 2026
Green hydrogen is beginning to gain traction in the freight transport conversation as an alternative to electrification. In Mexico, this momentum is hampered by a basic reality: the lack of refueling stations. “There are none (hydrogen stations) in the country,” says Dieter Femfert, commercial director of CRYOINFRA, and for this reason, in 2026, they will begin testing with the Fotón bus to use hydrogen in a tractor-trailer. The goal is not only to demonstrate movement but also to measure “efficiency,” economy, and towing performance in real conditions, according to Femfert
