Terminal bolts powering Chile’s lithium growth

Chile has articulated an ambitious national lithium strategy aiming to double annual lithium output by 2034. Lithium production is important as global demand for battery metals rises with EV and energy storage energy growth. This includes preparing two new direct-award contracts for submission. Chile is also amending and advancing key contracts, including updated CEOL terms

Drop out cutout fuses: Supporting Chile’s transmission growth

Chile’s power sector has transitioned toward variable renewable dominance with increased solar and wind resources in the region. However, structural transmission constraints limit energy generation and distribution. The country is hence aiming to upgrade and expand the grid to a central determinant of system efficiency, curtailment reduction, and flexibility integration. Grid transmission helps evacuate surplus

Cable suspension bolts enabling Chile’s e-fuel shift

Arauco, Copec, and Abastible created a partnership to assess a power-to-liquids e-fuel project in Chile. Chile’s Biobio region has established industrial and forestry hubs with strong grid connectivity, port access, and proximity to biomass resources. These features lower logistical barriers for PtL deployment. They also enable potential integration of renewable electricity, biogenic carbon dioxide, and
