The renewable energies industry is witnessing significant and rapid change everywhere.
Latin America, with its 7.7 million square miles (20 million square kilometers) covering both hemispheres from Mexico to Argentina, has every possible climate and resource that positions it extremely well within this nascent industry.
• Wind maps of the world show that the southern Argentine Patagonia region has the single best winds that can be harnessed to develop clean electricity• World solar maps show that the Atacama Desert in northern Chile is among the best to develop solar-powered energy in a region in need of new sources of energy to continue their economic growth
• Colombia is developing a vibrant biofuels industry based on sustainably-developed palm oil • Brazil is already a world leader in sugarcane ethanol
• Central American nations are establishing legal frameworks to begin developing the industry
• Caribbean nations have established themselves as excellent launch pads to enter the U.S. market
• Argentina is the fourth largest biodiesel producer in the world, exporting most of its production to Europe
All of these countries show great promise in further developing their industries as the twenty first century becomes known as the Renewable Energies Century, and the demand for new and cleaner sources of energy translates into new opportunities for investment and research throughout the region.
We are in the early stages of a great transformation of Latin America, a transformation that requires expertise, capital, and access to decision makers that can make your investments come to fruition.
