YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Aligning chemical operations with a changing energy mix
- Chile targets carbon neutrality by 2050, while renewables supplied over 60% of electricity in 2024. Energy-intensive plants must control costs and emissions.
- YCP links energy sourcing, process efficiency and abatement roadmaps to business economics, helping teams prioritize investments and sustain margins.
Managing water constraints in mining-linked chemical demand
- Chile produced roughly 5.5 million tonnes of copper in 2024, supporting demand for acids and reagents. Water scarcity in northern regions raises operating costs.
- YCP combines demand forecasting with water-use and technology assessments, enabling chemical players to build resilient supply and expansion strategies.
Strengthening import-dependent chemical supply chains
- More than 90% of Chile’s foreign trade moves by sea, exposing chemical inputs to port disruption, hazardous-cargo requirements and long replenishment cycles.
- YCP uses supply-chain diagnostics, supplier strategy and inventory optimization to improve continuity while balancing working capital and service levels.
Keeping pace with evolving compliance and circularity rules
- Packaging recovery targets began applying in 2023, adding to hazardous-substance storage and waste obligations that require tighter product stewardship.
- YCP translates regulatory requirements into practical compliance roadmaps, helping companies redesign processes, manage risk and capture circularity value.
