Listen now
Description
Clean energy is booming in Latin America, where wind and solar are breaking records year after year. But as the world battles inflation, can the trend continue? And can the region harness its clean-energy resources to become a key green hydrogen exporter? To find out more, Dana spoke with BNEF’s Head of Latin America Research, James Ellis, and São Paulo-based BNEF Associate Natalia Castilhos Rypl. Together they discuss the key findings from BNEF’s most recent Latin America Market Outlook, which nations are throwing their weight behind renewable energy installations, and whether the region could be on the brink of a green hydrogen boom. Complimentary BNEF research on the trends driving the transition to a lower-carbon economy can be found at BNEF on the Bloomberg Terminal, on bnef.com or on the BNEF mobile app. Links to research notes from this episode: 1H 2023 Latin America Market Outlook - https://www.bnef.com/insights/31585 Latin America’s Big Green Hydrogen Export Dreams May Slip - https://www.bnef.com/insights/31343 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
