Abstract
El siguiente documento presenta el desarrollo del estudio de factibilidad técnica en la utilización de hidrógeno como fuente de potencia en el transporte terrestre nacional, específicamente en buses urbanos de movilidad pública. Lo anterior se realizó con el fin de demostrar que el uso de este combustible es una solución y un pilar fundamental a contemplar en la transición energética del país hacia la descarbonización de la matriz.
Para llevar a cabo la investigación, en primer lugar, se hizo una revisión del contexto previo y actual de la tecnología, junto con la proyección esperada en el mediano y largo plazo para su despliegue a gran escala a nivel mundial y local. Sumado a ello, se consideró como eje central el estudio bibliográfico internacional debido a que el uso de celdas de combustible es aún una tecnología inmadura en Chile. A partir de esto se pudo hacer una descripción completa del principio de funcionamiento técnico de los vehículos, los dispositivos que los componen, la infraestructura de recarga necesaria para su operación, y los sistemas de seguridad precisados para un uso óptimo.
En segundo lugar, mediante el análisis de actores impulsores de la electromovilidad y el uso del hidrógeno como vector energético en Chile, se determinó que la utilización de celdas de combustible en los buses urbanos del sistema público para Santiago podría ser una potencial solución ante el objetivo de electrificar la flota completa de esta categoría vehicular para el año 2040.
The following document presents the development from the technical feasibility research in the use of hydrogen as a source of power in national land transport, specifically in urban buses of public movility. This was done in order to demonstrate that the use of this fuel is a solution and a fundamental pillar to consider in the country's energy transition towards decarbonization of the matrix. To carry out the research, in first place, a review was made of the previous and current context of the technology, along with the expected projection in the medium and long term for its large-scale deployment at the global and local levels. In addition to this, the international bibliographic study was considered as the central axis due to the use of fuel cells stills considerers as an immature technology in Chile. According to this, a complete description of the technical operating principle of the vehicles, the devices that compose them, the recharging infrastructure necessary for their operation, and the security systems required for optimal use could be made. On second place, by analyzing the driving forces behind electromobility and the use of hydrogen as an vector energy in Chile, it was determined that the use of fuel cells in the urban buses of the public system for Santiago could be a potential solution to the objective to electrify the entire fleet of this vehicle category by 2040.
