Energy Secretary Eduardo Rodríguez Chirillo said that the country is “working to be a strategic partner” of the EU. He proposes a roadmap “to facilitate the purchase and sale of LNG and green hydrogen for investors with long-term contracts.”
In the framework of a panel on energy transition and green hydrogen organized by the Center for Studies of Energy Regulatory Activity (Ceare) and the European Union (EU), the Secretary of Energy of Argentina, Eduardo Rodríguez Chirillo, assured that the country “works to be a strategic partner” of the European bloc in the field of green hydrogen and liquefied natural gas (LNG).
The meeting was organised following a visit to the South American country by EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson.
Rodríguez Chirillo took the opportunity to assure that the approval of the so-called Ley Bases will allow the Argentine government to carry out structural reforms relevant to the energy markets.
In a statement, in this regard, it is pointed out that "the current administration had to assume a change in the axis of energy policy, giving way to a scheme whose center is the maximization of income and export rights."
The Secretary of Energy also highlighted the new Large Investment Incentive Regime (RIGI), which he described as “an oasis for investment.”
"We seek to promote a purely export-oriented scheme through tax, customs and exchange incentives," he explained.
Rodríguez Chirillo and Commissioner Simson will outline the areas of mutual cooperation between Argentina and the EU, which are said to relate to the emission rights regime, technical assistance in environmental assessment of hydrogen, capacity building at all levels and energy efficiency. |
