Since the release of its hydrogen roadmap last September, Colombia has established itself as a regional pioneer in the fledgling industry. BNamericas takes a look at some of the key developments over the past seven months. ROADMAP Colombia’s mines and energy ministry issued its long-term blueprint for hydrogen development last September, outlining plans for up to 3GW of electrolysis capacity by 2030 and envisaging the wide-scale adoption of fuel-cell vehicles. In addition to citing the vast potential for green hydrogen production from renewables – via water electrolysis – the roadmap sets a target of 50 kilotons of blue hydrogen capacity derived from natural gas over the same period.  The document says the price of producing green hydrogen in the Andean country is forecast to fall to US$1.7/kg by the end of the decade, while that of blue hydrogen is estimated to be…
