Takes part in
- 09:00–09:30 Opening Institutional opening
- 14:50–15:40 Panel Panel 5 — Green hydrogen and advanced biofuels
To analyze the potential of Chubut as a pioneering hub for the production of green hydrogen and its derivatives—e-fuels and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)—based on its exceptional wind resource, and its role as a vehicle for the deep decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors such as aviation and heavy industry. The panel will address the construction of the local value chain, the development of small and medium-sized enterprises and skilled employment, the regulatory framework still pending, and the opportunities arising from the requirements of CORSIA (the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation). It will show how these developments turn emissions into productive inputs and how they connect with international demand and with the opportunity presented by carbon markets.
Recordings will be available on the YouTube channel of the Province of Chubut once the event has concluded.
