The Director of Studies, Projects, and Information of the Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE), Fitzgerald Cantero, participated in the webinar “Strategies for Territorial Development,” organized by the Territorial Development Commission of the Outreach Network.
This event shared local perspectives on the Green Hydrogen industry, with the common goal of achieving zero emissions by 2050.
Fitzgerald Cantero highlighted the potential and opportunities for Latin America and the Caribbean to integrate into this new economy and explained the importance of analyzing factors that allow for cost reduction and competitiveness. He also emphasized that countries should include aspects such as environmental, territorial permits, and social license in their energy agendas.
“It is a great opportunity for #LatinAmerica to be part of this new industry. Being a long-term project, it requires state policies, solid regulation, and integrated ecosystems,” Cantero noted.
Furthermore, this event emphasized the importance of green hydrogen and the need to have a medium- and long-term perspective that allows countries to look towards the future and provide the tools to sustain it over time, regardless of the current governments.
