Chile is enduring one of the most severe mega-droughts in its history, with General Water Directorate (DGA) data recording over 15 years of continuous water scarcity. This unprecedented water crisis has drastically increased pressure on natural resources while raising critical concerns about the environmental footprint of major industrial sectors.
Amid rising global temperatures and accelerating carbon emissions, carbon recycling is emerging as a critical sustainability solution. Around the world, advanced (CO₂ ) capture and conversion technologies are converting greenhouse gases into valuable commercial feedstocks through more sustainable processes.
For years, green hydrogen has emerged as a leading contender for driving the global energy transition. Its ability to generate clean energy without emitting pollutants has ignited worldwide interest in decarbonizing production and energy sectors. In this context, Chile has become an international leader in developing this technology, leveraging its abundant solar and wind resources and a strong national commitment to clean energy production.
Just a few years ago, electric vehicles felt like a futuristic promise. Today, they are a global reality, and Chile is rapidly adopting them—most recently evidenced by Copiapó becoming the country's first city with a 100% electric public transport system. While this technology represents a vital, cleaner alternative to traditional fuel, this shift to electromobility simultaneously creates new, complex environmental challenges that current systems are not yet equipped to handle.
