Technological pillar

European Union needs to modernize the energy networks to support energy system integration and to incorporate other decarbonized and low-emission energy carriers, such as renewable hydrogen and lithium technologies (inline with the Paris Agreement).

Social pillar

The just transition is the third pillar that characterizes this project. It is based in the importance of comparatively systematizing lithium, green hydrogen and renewable energy policies to ensure that a policy guided by principles of just transition is being produced in the countries in the consortium, both for local communities and for the country as a whole in terms of trade and development opportunities.

Public affairs

International problems require international solutions. Latin America is one of the regions of the world that has been suffering the most climate change making it a clear key ally for the European Union in its plans for dealing with this issue.
