Siemens Energy, Techint to develop 210 MW electrolyzer project in Mexico

Clean energy giants Siemens Energy and Techint Engineering & Construction have secured a FEED contract from Transition Industries for 210 MW Elyzer P-300 electrolyzer facility in Sinaloa of Mexico.

As per the official statement, the contract is a part of 6,130 MT per day ultra-low carbon methanol Pacifico Mexinol project.

Once operational in 2029, Pacifico Mexinol is poised to be the largest standalone ultra-low carbon chemical production facility and one of the largest producers of green hydrogen and green methanol in the world.

The FEED study marks the next step in the expanding partnership between Transition Industries, Techint Engineering & Construction, and Siemens Energy, who intend to leverage their advanced technology and services to ensure the highest standards of efficiency and reliability in green hydrogen production.

Under the terms, Siemens Energy and Techint Engineering & Construction will provide an initial binding not-to-exceed Lump Sum Firm Price, followed by a final binding Lump Sum Turnkey Firm Price for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) of the electrolyzer facility.

Rommel Gallo, Transition Industries CEO, said, “This milestone marks a significant step forward in our mission to drive innovation and sustainability in the chemicals sector. Partnering with Siemens Energy and Techint E&C positions us to develop the hydrogen production element of our Pacifico Mexinol project, thereby reducing emissions and contributing to the global energy transition.”

The Hydrogen Plant will have an estimated production capacity of approximately 4,000 kg of hydrogen/hour.

Siemens Energy was selected for this aspect of the project, capitalizing on their expertise in green hydrogen production. It’s Elyzer P-300 technology will play a crucial role in achieving the project’s goals of efficiency, sustainability, and scalability.

“At Techint E&C, we talk about a passion for doing, but even more so when it comes to challenging and high-impact projects like Mexinol, which are the ones that allow us to contribute with all our technical expertise, be part of a key energy transition project as the largest green hydrogen plant in America, and continue building a better future for everyone,” highlighted Alejandro Maluf, President – North America Region, Techint E&C.

Pacifico Mexinol Project

Transition Industries is jointly developing Pacifico Mexinol with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group. When it initiates operations in 2029, Pacifico Mexinol is expected to be the largest single ultra-low carbon methanol facility in the world – producing approximately 350,000 MT of green methanol and 1.8 million MT of blue methanol annually from natural gas with carbon capture.
