Policy Spotlight
The Dominican Republic (DR) is exploring green hydrogen as a sustainable energy source. EN.IT, an Italian company, is eager to play a significant role in DR's developing green hydrogen sector through a renewable hydrogen project of 350 MW, utilizing wind and solar power in La Romana. EN.IT's involvement reflects the DR's dedication to diversifying its energy sources and decreasing reliance on fossil fuels. This project is forecasted to produce around 46,000 t/yr, primarily for export, according to EN.IT. The company anticipates making a final investment decision (FID) in 2026 and initiating commercial operations by late 2028.
