With a high-level agenda in South Korea and Japan, H2V Magallanes is participating in an international tour aimed at strengthening links with strategic players in the green hydrogen industry and promoting the unique conditions of Magallanes for large-scale production and export.
The president of the board of H2V Magallanes, Mario Marchese, is part of the Chilean delegation that is developing a full program of activities. In South Korea, the group has held meetings with local energy companies, in addition to participating in the Korea-Chile Hydrogen Energy Investment Opportunity Seminar, organized by the Korean Hydrogen Federation and the Korea International Trade Association, held in Seoul.
In Japan, the agenda includes participation in the Opening Ceremony of the Energy Week in Chile at Expo Osaka 2025, business meetings in Tokyo with leaders of the energy sector, an Investment Opportunities Seminar and technical visits.
"They have been intense and very interesting days, knowing the reality of one of the export markets to which the industry aims from Chile," said Marchese, who also noted that "Korean and Japanese companies include hydrogen and its derivatives in their decarbonization plans, although the main point under discussion is still the price. This confirms what we have repeatedly stated: Chile must ensure the competitiveness of its supply, otherwise it will lag behind the growing supply from regions such as the Middle East, China and India. In natural conditions, Magallanes has advantages, but we are lagging behind".
The delegation also includes the participation of executives from H2V Magallanes partner companies: Patricia Palacios, executive director of Consorcio Austral, and David Berrini Mancisidor, vice-president of Sourcing and Strategic Alliances of Acciona & Nordex Green Hydrogen. They are joined by representatives of the Chilean Embassies in South Korea and Japan.
One of the main objectives of the tour is to make Magallanes' exceptional natural conditions visible for the development of large-scale green hydrogen and green ammonia projects based on wind energy, consolidating the region's role as a strategic pole for the global energy transition.
