Description
The study involved developing a benchmark for similar port locations and projects related to zero-carbon production, storage, supply, and export. It also included conducting a hierarchical multicriteria analysis to evaluate nine potential port locations within Colombia, ranking them based on qualitative and quantitative criteria. The top three locations were selected for in-depth pre-feasibility studies, which included port visits. Additionally, a roadmap was created to outline how these top three port locations could be developed into bankable pilot investment projects.
Hinicio added value
- Extensive experience in hydrogen Power-to-X projects, including modeling various system configurations for domestic demand, export markets, and HUBs, with a focus on port locations.
- A strong track record of successful hydrogen projects in Colombia, which accelerates the process of selecting the best port locations for developing bankable projects in the short to medium term.
Economic, social, and environmental impact
The selection of the three port locations will lead to the development of pilot investment projects in Colombia, positioning them as the first movers in the country’s energy transition agenda. The pre-feasibility analysis will also play a crucial role in the National Planning Department’s mission to enhance port infrastructure, thereby facilitating the energy transition and the growth of the renewable hydrogen economy.
