據《石油世界期刊》7月13日波哥大報道，哥倫比亞頒布了一項能源轉型法，以促進對氫能、可再生能源和可持續交通的投資。

　　這項法律，承認綠色氫和藍色氫是可再生能源，有資格降低所得稅、增值稅和關稅豁免以及加速折舊。新立法還為地熱發電廠等其他能源以及存儲、碳捕獲和能源效率提供了法律框架。

　　與巴西、烏拉圭和智利等其他拉丁美洲國家相比，哥倫比亞是可再生能源的后來者，部分原因是其嚴重依賴水電而不是熱電廠。但是波哥大正在慢慢開始通過新的項目來縮小差距，比如哥倫比亞發電商Celsia剛剛落成的9.8兆瓦的 El Carmelo 太陽能園區。新工廠約一半的能源將供應Cargill本地家禽業務。

　　哥倫比亞將于10月31日舉行第三輪可再生能源拍賣，從2023年1月1日開始為期15年的電力采購協議。

　　該國已安裝或計劃在2022年8月前上線的非常規可再生能源總量為2.5吉瓦 。

　　在上周的一份相關聲明中，哥倫比亞已經開始了加入IEA的進程。

　　盡管在能源轉型方面取得了長足進步，但哥倫比亞的大部分收入仍來自石油和煤炭生產及出口。

　　Colombia to promote hydrogen and renewable energies with transition law

　　Colombia has a enacted an energy transition law to promote investment in hydrogen, renewable energy and sustainable transport.

　　The law,recognizes green and blue hydrogen as renewable energy eligible for reduced income tax, VAT and tariff exemptions and accelerated depreciation. The new legislation also provides a legal framework for other energy sources such as geothermal plants, as well as storage, carbon capture and energy efficiency.

　　Colombia was a latecomer to renewable energy compared with other Latin American countries such as Brazil, Uruguay and Chile , in part because of its heavily reliance on hydroelectricity rather than thermoelectric plants. But Bogota is slowly starting to close the gap with new projects, such as the 9.8MW El Carmelo solar park just inaugurated by Colombian generator Celsia. about half of the energy from the new plant will supply Cargill's local poultry operations.

　　Colombia is holding a third renewable power auction on 31 October for 15-year power purchase agreements starting on 1 January 2023.

　　The country has a total of 2.5GW of unconventional renewable energy already installed or scheduled to come on line by August 2022.

　　In a related announcement last week, Colombia has begun the process of joining the IEA.

　　Despite strides toward energy transition, Colombia still derives most of its revenue from oil and coal production and exports.
