The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) implemented a set of measures to prioritize the supply of natural gas to households, public transportation, and activities in Peru. Peru’s gas infrastructure is dependent on key transmission pipelines that transport natural gas from production fields to consumption centers. The deflagration can result in localized pipeline integrity damage,

The Chilean Renewable Energy and Storage Association (ACERA) said that Chile has consolidated a renewable electricity mix. It now faces structural constraints linked to grid bottlenecks, curtailment, and rising flexibility needs. In 2025, the National Electric System generated 87 TWh, with renewables accounting for 63.3% of total output. Other renewable energy represented 42.4% of generation,

Ineratec, a German cleantech firm, teamed up with Arauco and Abastible to assess the development of a power-to-liquid (PtL) e-fuel project. The process focuses on integrating existing industrial infrastructure with power-to-X technology to produce synthetic fuels. The fuels will be from biogenic carbon dioxide and renewable hydrogen. The production process combines biogenic carbon dioxide captured

Chile is shifting the emphasis from the previous 25 GW electrolysis capacity by 2030 to a production-volume target of about 900,000 tonnes per year by 2035. This shift broadens focus from pure production capacity to consumption and export objectives. The change reflects slower global market uptake, higher capital and operating costs for electrolysis, and investor
