For the purpose of decarbonisation, objectivity is crucial, Trinidad Castro Crichton, executive director of the World Energy Council’s Chilean member committee, believes. The past few years have seen her country embark on an ambitious energy programme spearheaded by renewables, which Chile hopes will lead it to become a top producer and global supplier of green hydrogen.
But while the ultimate goal of net-zero emissions is something all energy sectors should strive for, decarbonisation needs to happen step by careful step, taking into consideration each country’s resources, otherwise the remedy, such as a badly planned switch away from a fossil fuel, can be worse than the disease, Castro says in this interview with LNG Business Review.
