en.Wedoany.com Reported - Chile's Council of Ministers recently approved two projects with a combined investment exceeding $225 million, including a green hydrogen project and a power transmission project. Environment Minister Francisca Toledo Echegaray chaired the meeting, confirming the environmental qualification resolutions for both initiatives.

Among them, the Quintero Bay Green Hydrogen Project involves a $30 million investment and plans to build and operate a green hydrogen production plant at the site of an existing GNL natural gas regasification plant. The other project is the Nueva Lagunas Sectional Substation and the Nueva Lagunas-Kimal Transmission Line, with an investment of $195 million. The works are located between the municipality of Pozo Almonte in the Tarapacá Region and María Elena in the Antofagasta Region.

Environment Minister Francisca Toledo stated: "In less than two months of President José Antonio Kast's administration, the Council of Ministers has already held three sessions. This clearly demonstrates our focus: management. Our goal is to accelerate processes, because if we do not meet our own deadlines, there is no real environmental management. This in no way means lowering standards, but rather completing work on time and complying with environmental regulations." SEA Executive Director Arturo Farías noted: "As the environmental assessment service, we are committed to ensuring processes maintain high technical standards while balancing timeliness and efficiency in decision-making. The Council of Ministers has reviewed seven initiatives, with a total investment exceeding $3.3 billion, and we will continue advancing reviews and resolutions."

Attending ministers also included heads of the Health, Economy, Agriculture, and Energy portfolios.
