Uruguay inaugurates first green hydrogen and electric mobility pilot plant in Durazno
The Technological University (UTEC) and the University of the Republic (Udelar) have opened Uruguay's first pilot plant combining green hydrogen production with electromobility infrastructure in Durazno. The facility features thermal compressor technology described as unique in Latin America, marking Uruguay's entry into integrated hydrogen and EV charging development.
Why it matters
The pilot demonstrates how hydrogen production can be co-located with EV charging infrastructure, a model that could inform future procurement specifications for integrated energy sites. For CPOs and contractors, this Latin American first signals potential new project types blending hydrogen refuelling with electric vehicle charging networks.
