The Ecopetrol Group announced the start of its first green hydrogen production pilot project in Colombia. The news followed the start of operations of a 50-kilowatt PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolyser and 270 solar panels at the Cartagena refinery.
The pilot test will be carried out over the next three months. It will use industrial water for the daily production of 20 kg of high-purity green hydrogen. The firm seeks to gather information on the operation, maintenance, reliability and scalability of the technologies used, which will lead to further tests.
