Today, June 14th, 2023, the President of Chile, Gabriel Boirc received Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission to talk about Green Hydrogen, lithium, and other environmental and economic matters.
The idea is to support the development of renewable energies in Chile.
The European Union will give Chile a considerable amount of funds for this industry (225 million euros), all in the mindset of shared values and contributing to fighting climate change and the expansion of cleaner energies.
Currently, the EU is the main foreign investor in Chile (26%).
Lithium was also on the conversation and agreements, due to the fact that Chile has one of the largest supplies of this mineral in the world and the demand for it is only going to increase with time. There are big possibilities for Chile to take the lead in this sector.
They also discussed the situation in Ukraine, in which Boric condemned the Russian attacks again.
