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.

AEH2 signs agreements with associations in Europe and Latin America to advance hydrogen development
April, 2026
The Spanish Hydrogen Association (AEH2) has signed five new memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with the Hydrogen Energy Association (United Kingdom), GIZ (Germany), H2 Peru, the Mexican Hydrogen Society, and Hidrógeno Colombia, thereby strengthening international cooperation within Spain’s hydrogen sector. These agreements establish platforms for collaboration among industry, governments, universities, and research institutes, with the aim of fostering innovation, facilitating the exchange of knowledge, and accelerating technological and industrial development on a global scale, thereby establishing hydrogen as a key driver of the energy transition.

Exploitation of Thermal Gradients in the Colombian Caribbean for GH2 Production
April, 2026
Researchers at the University of América in Bogotá, Colombia, conducted an analysis of the use of thermal gradients in the Colombian Caribbean for the production of green hydrogen. This analysis involved collecting oceanographic data on temperature gradients, salinity, and pressure at various locations in order to evaluate the production of green hydrogen using ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) technology, taking into account its performance and associated costs. Overall, OTEC appears to be a viable technology and a resilient option for the continuous production of H2V in the Colombian Caribbean.

Santa Cruz has set aside 500,000 hectares for the Hydrogen industry
April, 2026
The discussion about hydrogen in the province of Santa Cruz, Argentina, is no longer just an abstract promise; it has already left a tangible mark on the region. In the province, more than 500,000 hectares have been set aside by producers who have signed long-term agreements with developers—in some cases for up to 40 years—to host wind farms associated with these projects. That fact shifted the conversation from energy expectations to a much more direct question: under what rules will that land be used, and what role will traditional rural activities continue to play there? At the Provincial Hydrogen Roundtable, concerns were raised about the lack of a national legal framework, given that while projects exist, there is still no law to regulate the activity.
