Expression of Interest For Legal And Contractual Due Diligence For Project Deuterium

Expression of Interest for Legal and Contractual Due Diligence for Project Deuterium Colombia has set ambitious objectives to become a regional leader in clean hydrogen production, aiming to decarbonize its energy matrix and industrial sectors while positioning itself as a key exporter of hydrogen derivatives such as ammonia, methanol, and sustainable aviation fuels. These goals are embedded in the countrys updated climate commitments (NDC 3.0) and long-term strategy (E2050), which emphasize industrial decarbonization, green logistics, and the deployment of eco-industrial parks. A central pillar of this strategy is the mobilization of public and private capital through innovative financial mechanisms. In this context, the Financiera de Desarrollo Nacional (FDN) plays a pivotal role. The World Bank Group, through IBRD and IFC, has been actively supporting Colombias energy transition by partnering with national development banks such as FDN. This collaboration is particularly focused on enabling early-stage investments in clean hydrogen, port decarbonization, and eco-industrial parks. The World Bank has also supported the development of the Fondo de Transición Energética (FTE), a long-term financial architecture designed to blend public and private capital for clean energy infrastructure, where FDN plays a key role in financial structuring. This technical assistance includes risk-sharing instruments such as first-loss facilities and partial credit guarantees, aimed at addressing bankability gaps and enabling projects to reach Final Investment Decision (FID). These efforts are complemented by capacity building, feasibility studies, and strategic planning to ensure the bankability and scalability of Colombias hydrogen and decarbonization initiatives. The Financiera de Desarrollo Nacional (FDN) is playing a pivotal role in supporting the Deuterium project in Colombia, a flagship initiative under the broader Hidrógeno Andino strategy aimed at scaling green ammonia and fertilizer production. FDNs involvement is focused on financial structuring and enabling the project to reach Final Investment Decision (FID), in collaboration with the World Bank.
