The Regional Coastal Use Commission (CRUBC) approved, by 29 votes in favor and one abstention, the maritime concession requested by TE H2 for the H2 Magallanes Project.
The session, held in Punta Arenas, analyzed the request for the planned port in Bahía Posesión, San Gregorio commune, an essential infrastructure for the development of the project and the regional logistics system.
The concession, declared admissible in February of this year by the Undersecretariat for the Armed Forces, contemplates the development of a port designed to allow the import of materials and components, the export of green ammonia to international markets, and the desalination of water necessary for the production of green hydrogen.
According to Antoine Liane, general manager of TE H2, “This port will be key to the project’s logistical development and the strengthening of the regional maritime system. We are grateful to the Regional Commission for Coastal Use and its members for their almost unanimous approval of this initiative, which endorses the project’s commitment to the future of the region and the development of green hydrogen.”
Strategically located near Route 255, with direct access to the Atlantic Ocean and proximity to the border with Argentina, Bahía Posesión allows the entry of deep-draft vessels (greater than 10 meters), facilitating the loading and unloading of containers, modules, and industrial components.
The project includes two desalination plants, one temporary and one permanent, and a phased port solution, currently under evaluation to determine the most efficient export system: conversion of import platforms or installation of one loading unit per tower.
The port planned by TE H2 in Bahía Posesión is a private initiative developed quickly, providing certainty to the entire industry and generating enabling infrastructure for the future growth of green hydrogen in Magallanes. Its design seeks to foster economies of scale, reduce investment costs and environmental impacts, and optimize regional logistics by reducing road traffic and associated emissions.
