Who we are
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 Region in numbers
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. Chile is the leading country in the region, through the publication of the National Green Hydrogen Strategy, international agreements with European countries, and investment in pilot infrastructure projects. 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.

Chile hydrogen projects seeking US$3.6bn receive tailored financial advice
August, 2025
Five Chilean development-phase green hydrogen projects seeking US$3.6bn in financing are obtaining tailored financial and technical advice free of charge, BNamericas was told. Four projects are geared to the export market and one domestic demand. All are seeking development funds, with some also asking for Capex. Project owners were connected to a specialist European consultancy via a bespoke scheme created by the Chilean office of German sustainable development cooperation agency GIZ and launched last year. Branded Financial Service Assistance (FSA) the one-year scheme is open to local and international players with projects that have a minimum ticket size of US$10 million. This includes projects in the wider hydrogen value chain.

Barbados set for Caribbean’s largest green hydrogen plant
August, 2025
Barbados is poised to become home to the largest and most technologically advanced renewable energy power plant in the English-speaking Caribbean, with construction of a $350 million hybrid facility expected to begin by March next year. The project will create around 150 jobs during construction and a further 20 permanent roles once this hybrid power plant, to be built at Harrow Plantation in St. Philip, becomes operational in about two years, the executives said. The project is expected to fully contract its capacity through a 25-year power purchase agreement with Barbados Light and Power Company (BLPC). The project is jointly owned by Hydrogène de France (HDF Energy) (49 per cent) and Rubis Caribbean Holdings Inc. (51 per cent), will supply power to the grid 24 hours a day.
