How Chile is becoming a leader in renewable energy

The country benefits from consistently strong winds in mountainous region of Patagonia and some of the world''s highest levels of solar radiation in the Atacama Desert. This predictable supply of wind and solar energy has led the Chilean government to estimate that 13% of the world''s green hydrogen will be produced within its borders.
