Wood to Engineer Total Eren’s H2 Magallanes Project in Chile

Wood will provide conceptual engineering for Total Eren’s H2 Magallanes Project, a large-scale green hydrogen production facility, to be located in the commune of San Gregorio, in the Magallanes region, Southern Chile. Wood’s scope covers the development of a complete off-grid integrated energy complex to produce ammonia from green hydrogen – avoiding up to 5 million tonnes of CO₂ annually. The engineering package will include up to 10 GW of installed wind capacity, coupled with up to 8 GW of electrolysis capacity, a desalination plant, an ammonia (NH3) plant, power transmission and backup, and port facilities to transport the green ammonia to national and international markets.In the frame of the project, Total Eren has signed in November 2021 a collaboration agreement with the University of Magallanes (the UMAG), a renowned public institution with great experience in the fields of Engineering, Environmental and Social Studies.Wood’s studies will provide ground for Total Eren and the UMAG to deliver precise environmental impact assessments and risk analysis surrounding the H2 Magallanes Project, in accordance with the high environmental and social standards defined by the Chilean authorities.The project ties in with Chile’s ambition to feature among global leaders in the production of green hydrogen via electrolysis, with a target of 25 GW by 2030.
