Costa Rica: 25 million Euro green hydrogen project approved
The Green Hydrogen for a Decarbonized Economy project in Costa Rica aims to use this clean energy as an alternative for sectors that cannot be easily electrified, such as the cement
The high potential for renewable energy in the country – Costa Rica has produced more than 98% of its electricity in the last six years through renewables – implies there is a clear opportunity for green hydrogen production to accelerate Costa Rica's trajectory towards net-zero in hard-to-abate sectors.
The NGHS positions green hydrogen as a pivotal element in Costa Rica's decarbonisation efforts, mainly targeting challenging sectors to electrify, such as heavy-duty transportation and industry. The strategy emphasises utilising the nation's renewable energy matrix, which is nearly 100% renewable, to produce green hydrogen competitively.
Costa Rica's green hydrogen vision revolves around leveraging its nearly 100% renewable energy matrix to become a leader in green hydrogen production and innovation.
Costa Rica's 2023 Green Hydrogen Strategy aims for a potential production capacity of up to six million tonnes per year and an installed electrolysis capacity of 150 and 500 megawatts by 2030, marking their target for green hydrogen production capacity within the country.
