Wood Group signs engineering contract for 8 GW Hydrogen project in Chile

Wood Group Plc has signed an engineering contract with Total Eren for the H2 Magallanes project, a large-scale green hydrogen production facility, to be located in the commune of San Gregorio, in the Magallanes region, Southern Chile.

The engineering package will include up to 10 GW of installed wind capacity, coupled with up to 8 GW of electrolysis capacity, a desalination plant, ammonia (NH3) plant, power transmission and backup, and port facilities to transport the green ammonia to national and international markets. In the frame of the project, Total Eren has signed in November 2021 a collaboration agreement with the University of Magallanes (the UMAG), a renowned public institution with great experience in the fields of Engineering, Environmental and Social Studies.

Wood’s studies will provide ground for Total Eren and the UMAG to deliver precise environmental impact assessments and risk analysis surrounding the H2 Magallanes Project, in accordance with the high environmental and social standards defined by the Chilean authorities
