Chile has strong solar potential in the north
Enaex taps KBR for Chilean green ammonia
Explosives firm progresses project amid increasing international interest in Chile’s green hydrogen potential
Explosives company Enaex has signed a contract with US engineering company KBR to use its green ammonia technology at the planned Hyex green ammonia project in northern Chile. Enaex currently imports the ammonia feedstock for its production of ammonium nitrate in the country, and the firm claims these imports represent 90pc of its total carbon footprint for the process. The firm launched the Hyex project with French energy company Engie in 2021 as a measure to decarbonise its operations. Hyex will be developed in two phases. The first phase will produce up to 18,000t/yr of green ammonia using hydrogen from 26MW of electrolyser capacity and is scheduled for commissioning by 2025. The second a
