The Chile chapter of the Net Zero Circle will serve as a unique networking platform for the lithium and renewable energy sectors.
With Chile positioned as a global leader in both industries, this chapter will focus on leveraging the synergies between renewable energy production and lithium extraction, while addressing shared challenges and fostering sustainable development.
The Cerro Dominador is a concentrated solar power (CSP) plant that includes a 110 MW solar tower and a 100 MW photovoltaic field, making it the first of its kind in Latin America. It has the ability to store energy in molten salts for up to 17.5 hours, allowing it to supply electricity 24/7.
SQM operates one of the largest lithium extraction and production projects in the world. Located in the heart of the lithium triangle, the company produces lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide, primarily used in electric vehicle (EV) batteries.
The Huasco Wind Farm is part of Chile's growing portfolio of renewable energy projects. This project contributes to Chile’s energy transition efforts by harnessing wind power in one of the country’s most promising wind corridors.
