Through its Center for Solar Energy Technologies, an International Center of Excellence funded by ANID, Fraunhofer Chile is actively engaged in the creation of a web platform project that enables a techno-economic assessment of the development of solar hydrogen projects in the country’s northern region.

As a foundation to provide the industry with a useful alternative to evaluate its projects based on an applied R&D service model, developed by Fraunhofer Chile in collaboration with the business LIF Energy, this platform will be technically validated with clients and a marketing strategy will be implemented.

The goal of this effort, which has a significant R&D component, is to facilitate technology transfer by improving the opportunities and ensuring the certainty of project implementation for large, small, and medium-sized businesses.

The growth of companies based on solar hydrogen is a significant opportunity for the industry, says Marco Vaccarezza, head of business development.
