Day 2 of the Latam Mobility Summit Conosur in Chile <\/strong>gave continuity to the meeting that arrived in the country with the aim of exploring perspectives and strategies in the energy and mobility industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this meeting, \u00c1lvaro Villasante<\/strong>, VP of Business Management & Innovation of Grupo Energ\u00eda Bogot\u00e1, conducted a pleasant interview with Julio Friedmann<\/strong>, General Manager of ENAP<\/strong> (Empresa Nacional del Petr\u00f3leo), who shared his vision and experiences in the transition to a more sustainable future in the field of energy<\/strong> and mobility in the country<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ENAP, with more than 70 years<\/strong> of history in the fuel industry, is in a crucial position to lead the energy transition in Chile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The company’s focus is on the migration to cleaner fuels, in particular green hydrogen,” says Friedmann.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ENAP’s Vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ENAP’s vision focuses on sustainable mobility<\/strong> and the production of green hydrogen in Magallanes, a strategic region for logistics and energy production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“ENAP has established agreements with private companies to develop projects that permit the export of renewable energy”, he continued.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the decarbonization of the Chilean economy, Friedmann stresses that investment in sustainable fuels is a priority, as these have a significantly greater impact<\/strong> on reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to investment in reducing emissions in refineries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of sustainable mobility in the context of the energy transition is also highlighted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In relation to the issue of infrastructure and logistics<\/strong>, it highlighted the importance of using existing infrastructure to accelerate the transition to clean energy and reduce the environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“ENAP’s strategy to produce green hydrogen molecules in Magallanes and its commitment to sustainability stand out”, said Friedmann.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interview also concluded with a focus on ENAP’s adaptation and organizational transformation to meet the challenges of the energy transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is important to train professionals and the need to maintain a long-term focus on the transition to a more sustainable economy”, he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friedmann thus explained the company’s role in the transition to cleaner energy in Chile<\/strong>, as well as its commitment to sustainable mobility and the production of green hydrogen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, he showed how ENAP is positioned as an important actor<\/strong> in the country’s energy transformation, taking advantage of its experience and resources to contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions and Chile’s sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
