Fluxys Chile and the National Petroleum Company (ENAP) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deepen their strategic cooperation and jointly explore infrastructure opportunities for hydrogen and its derivatives in the Magallanes region.
The agreement, formalized during the Belgian State Visit to Chile, marks a new milestone in both companies’ shared commitment to supporting the global energy transition. The collaboration framework will focus on developing infrastructure for the transmission, storage, and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives (such as ammonia, methanol, or e-fuels), as well as solutions for CO2 handling.
ENAP, Chile’s state-owned oil and gas company, holds a robust portfolio of assets, including ports, terminals, and pipelines across Chile. These assets position ENAP as a central player in enabling shared infrastructure for the region’s emerging hydrogen economy. Fluxys, together with EIG, is already a co-shareholder with ENAP in the GNL Quintero LNG terminal. The Belgian company is keen to expand its presence in Chile and jointly drive forward the logistics chains that will connect new low-carbon energy sources to Belgium and Europe.
The Magallanes region offers exceptional conditions for green hydrogen production, thanks to its stable and powerful onshore wind resources, abundant land, and direct access to both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans via the Strait of Magellan.
