This past week, K&M had the incredible opportunity to attend the 3rd Hydrogen Congress held in Colombia, highlighted several important takeaways that are shaping the future of hydrogen in the region:

1. Strategic Positioning for Green, Blue, and White Hydrogen: Colombia is leveraging its high availability of renewable energy resources to produce green hydrogen cost-effectively. With the potential to reach cost competitiveness by 2030, Colombia is focusing on developing blue, green, and white hydrogen technologies to meet future demands and stimulate local economic growth
2. Infrastructure and Market Development: The Congress discussed the need for regulatory and policy frameworks that support the hydrogen economy. This includes creating a conducive environment for pilot projects in various sectors, such as transport, industrial uses, and power generation, which are crucial for the practical deployment of hydrogen technologies.
3. International Cooperation and Technology Sharing: Colombia is actively seeking international partnerships to advance its hydrogen initiatives. The roadmap emphasizes cooperation with countries and organizations that can provide technological and infrastructural support, highlighting the importance of global collaboration in advancing the hydrogen market.

These takeaways illustrate Colombia’s proactive approach to integrating hydrogen as a key component of its energy strategy, focusing on both technological development and international collaboration to drive the adoption of hydrogen-based solutions
