Green hydrogen pilot plant opens in Durazno through UTEC–Udelar partnership

Both versions are largely supported by contemporaneous reporting from la diaria, Durazno Digital, UTEC and Facultad de Ingeniería. The inauguration, joint university role, 2024 ANII selection, US$375,000 investment, equipment, projected output, location and academic purpose are corroborated. However, several long-version additions are unsupported or overstated, including exact funding attribution in some primary sources, SCADA and fuel-cell specifications, environmental and economic effects, proximity-based strategic conclusions, and the claim that Uruguay generates over 97% renewable electricity. The purity discrepancy is genuine and should remain qualified. Information is highly recent: the inauguration occurred October 1, 2026, four days before the reference date.
