Latin American nations are under increasing scrutiny as key players in the burgeoning global hydrogen market, given the region’s substantial renewable energy resources. According to recent insights shared by industry expert Adrian Mason, the region — particularly South and Central America — boasts a remarkable 75% generation share of renewable energy projected for 2024, poised to climb to 79% by 2035. This is driven by a robust hydropower base supplemented by substantial growth in solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind power, expected to rise at compound annual growth rates (CAGR) of 9% and 6%, respectively, from 2025 to 2035. The burgeoning…
