As the world shifts towards sustainable energy solutions, Repsol, a major energy player, is spearheading Peru’s entry into the green hydrogen arena.
With recent operations by other companies in Peru’s energy landscape, Repsol’s move signals a pivotal moment in the country’s journey towards decarbonization and renewable energy adoption.
Repsol’s Director of Communications and Institutional Relations, Luis Vásquez, highlights the importance of collaboration between energy providers and consumers in driving the adoption of green hydrogen. By partnering with major copper miners like Antamina, Chinalco, and Las Bambas, Repsol aims to leverage its expertise to propel decarbonization efforts in Peru’s industrial sector.
Vásquez emphasizes the need for a diverse energy portfolio to achieve decarbonization goals effectively. While green hydrogen holds promise as a key decarbonization tool, Repsol acknowledges the role of synthetic fuels, nuclear energy, and renewable fuels derived from waste in the transition to a low-emission economy. This holistic approach ensures resilience and sustainability in Peru’s energy landscape.
Repsol’s focus on “blue hydrogen,” generated from natural gas with CO2 capture and reuse, underscores its commitment to immediate decarbonization efforts. The utilization of captured CO2 at the La Pampilla refinery demonstrates Repsol’s dedication to reducing emissions while maintaining operational efficiency.
Repsol’s venture into green hydrogen and commitment to blue hydrogen production symbolizes a collaborative effort towards a sustainable future. By harnessing innovative technologies and fostering partnerships across sectors, Repsol aims to lead Peru towards a greener, more resilient energy landscape.
