Chile and the United States have entered into an initial agreement aimed at fostering technical assistance and information sharing to facilitate the energy transition. The agreement was signed by Chile’s Energy Minister Diego Pardow and US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm.
The agreement is expected to facilitate collaboration in various areas related to the energy transition, including technological exchange and the development of green hydrogen. This partnership comes as Chile aims to become a global leader in exporting green hydrogen by 2040 and strives to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
The agreement covers a range of topics, including research and development, decarbonization, grid modernization, hydrogen production, critical minerals, energy justice, and the Net Zero World initiative. It sets the stage for annual meetings between senior officials from both countries to monitor progress, address challenges, and identify new opportunities in these areas.
Chile’s commitment to green hydrogen aligns with its broader sustainability goals and its position as a global player in the transition to renewable and clean energy sources. This collaboration with the US could bring technological advancements and expertise to accelerate Chile’s efforts in achieving its energy and environmental objectives.

EU targets Chinese MAE makers with steep duties in trade defense move
The European Commission has imposed steep tariffs of up to 66.7% on Chinese-made mobile access equipment (MAE) — machines used to lift construction workers — after concluding that these imports benefited from unfair state subsidies and were being sold at artificially low prices. The new duties are designed to protect the EU’s domestic MAE industry, which is valued at over €1 billion ($1.14 billion) annually.
The Commission said its investigation revealed Chinese manufacturers had received preferential state financing, subsidies, and below-market-rate inputs. This, it argued, enabled them to undercut EU rivals by selling equipment at prices approximately 20% lower, rapidly expanding their market share from 29% in 2020 to 41% by late 2023.
Metals’ perfect storm mints record trader profits as policy splits markets
Metal traders just lived through their dream scenario: volatile fundamentals, policy shocks that split regional prices wide open, and a conveyor belt of supply hiccups across base and precious metals. The result is a banner year for the big houses.
The long-established leaders capitalized first by moving metal into the right jurisdiction at the right moment, arbitraging dislocations that were almost mechanical once the politics set them up. Newer entrants from the energy world did make money, but they discovered that metals reward deep physical networks, optionality in contracts, and muscle memory about how quickly a squeeze can morph from paper to warehouses and back again.
China’s copper smelting glut triggers calls for capacity controls
China’s biggest copper processors are effectively asking Beijing to hit pause on fresh smelting projects, warning that years of breakneck build-out have pushed the industry into a self-defeating price war.
Their trade group has lodged proposals urging stricter gatekeeping of new capacity, reflecting mounting alarm that treatment and refining charges, the fees smelters earn to turn mined concentrate into metal, have collapsed to record lows, even dipping below zero as firms undercut one another to keep plants busy.
