Chile’s Codelco is preparing a 25% cut in its indirect emissions by 2030 as part of its decarbonization plan. Codelco is the biggest copper manufacturer, but its mining contributes to pollution. Copper is a key material in solar panels, wind turbines, and energy transmission due to its electrical conductivity and durability. It also serves in […]

Peru plays an important role in mineral extraction that is vital to the energy industry. The minerals are essential for energy technologies like renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, and conventional energy infrastructure. Mineral extraction in Peru plays a vital role in supporting the worldwide energy sector as the country moves toward a sustainable energy future.

Verano Energy recently signed a 15-year power purchase agreement to support its 83 MW Domeyko solar project. The project will have a 660 MWh battery storage system in Chile. This development has the opportunity to position Chile as a leader in clean energy adoption in South America. The project combines solar PV technology with energy

Colombia is enhancing its solar energy capacity as part of a larger initiative for renewable energy. The growing renewable part in the country requires upgraded transmission lines to incorporate solar power effectively. Improving these lines will ease efficient energy distribution, cut losses, and allow for a greater integration of renewable energy into the grid. Upgrading

The Kairos Wind Park by the Darby International Capital was recently inaugurated in Brazil to enable energy sustainability. The wind park has a capacity of 112.5 MW generated by 25 wind turbines. This energy is enough to supply to the city. All the turbines were manufactured in Aquiraz, strengthening the local industry and consolidating the

With rising temperatures, there is increased pressure to reduce global emissions and meet global climate goals. Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is a technology that provides solutions for net-zero goals. This technology involves capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, converting it into valuable products, and storing it underground. It could help decarbonize key industries

Chile’s renewable energy sector has been increasing over the years, changing the energy industry. This change results from the interplay of beneficial natural circumstances, encouraging government initiatives, and private sector funding. In December 2024, 47.0% of Chile’s electricity came from non-traditional renewable sources. Chile possesses many renewable sources, including solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, and

Argentina has put in place policy changes by reducing tariffs on low-cost electric and hybrid vehicles. This aims to promote sustainable transportation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This aligns with global trends towards electrification in the automotive sector. Up to 50,000 imports of low-cost EVs and hybrids will be exempt from tariffs a year, according

South America has abundant natural resources, including high solar irradiance and strong winds. The wind resources have led to increased adoption of AI-driven wind turbines that help optimize energy production. Smart turbines use artificial intelligence, machine learning, and IoT technologies. These technologies help to enhance performance, reduce maintenance costs, and improve grid integration. Traditional wind
