Sustainable Exploration: What is the Role of Mining and Hydrogen in Infrastructure? 2024 | GRI Club | 26 February 2024 | TBA

Natural resources are intrinsically intertwined with infrastructure development, often creating perplexing questions about how to make their use and exploration sustainable.

Chile hopes to produce the world's lowest-cost hydrogen by 2030 and be among the top three global hydrogen exporters by 2040. According to Chile's National Green Hydrogen Strategy, up to US$330 billion in private investment and export opportunities could be generated for about US$30 billion by 2050.

The mining industry can also provide solutions to unblock certain obstacles in terms of infrastructure, such as water and construction. For example, the mining industry owns 80% of Chile's desalination capacity and this is expected to increase to 85% by 2025, according to ACADES.

During this meeting, GRI members will talk with mining companies, investors in hydrogen issues, government entities and unions working to explore solutions for more sustainable and resilient infrastructure development.
