Energy storage on the power generation side of Colombia

4 FAQs about Energy storage on the power generation side of Colombia

How can renewables help improve Colombia's energy access?

Extensive renewables potential in the La Guajira region should help advance rural electrification and close the energy access gap. Concentrated in the northern regions, which has a 50 gigawatt (GW) offshore wind potential, renewables can also provide the clean energy needed to jump-start Colombia's hydrogen production.

How does the IEA support Colombia's energy transition?

The IEA supports Colombia's agenda for a just energy transition. Experience from the IEA's Global Commission on People-Centred Transitions provides useful learnings for the government of Colombia, helping to boost local economic benefits and the transition to clean energy and new job opportunities.

What is Ecopetrol doing in Colombia?

Colombia's national oil company, Ecopetrol (Empresa Colombiana de Petroleos), is supporting the shift to low-carbon energy with investment plans for clean energy technology.

How much hydrogen will Colombia produce in 2021?

In 2021, Colombia's Ministry of Mines and Energy presented its Hydrogen Roadmap. Its stated goals were to reach between 1 and 3GW of electrolysis capacity in 2030 and produce 50 kilotonnes of blue hydrogen from new methane steam reforming plants and the capture and storage of carbon in existing facilities.
