PERU: EMERGING LEADER IN RENEWABLE ENERGY

Peru has a strong foundation of renewable resources for producing cheap green hydrogen. This allows for meeting local demand and offering green hydrogen internationally in the medium and long term.

According to the Peruvian Hydrogen Association (H2 PERU), the Moquegua region has become a key export market for this eco-friendly fuel to combat climate change.

THE GREAT AGROINDUSTRIAL HORIZON

As a megadiverse country with soils and climates ideal for high-quality fruit production, Peru also boasts competitive industrial service costs. It ranks second for having the lowest rates for electricity, water, and natural gas.

WHY CHILE?

Chile ranks sixth globally and first in Latin America for the highest volume of foreign direct investment in Peru from 2003 to 2024, according to data from the fDi Markets platform (Financial Times).

During this period, Chile has invested over USD 6.5 billion through 85 companies with 154 projects, creating approximately 47,000 direct jobs in Peru.
