Both companies will develop the FEED engineering for an electrolysis plant that will form part of Pacífico Mexinol, a project that aims to transform low-carbon methanol production in Mexico and position the country as a global leader in energy transition.

Techint Engineering & Construction, together with Siemens Energy, was selected to carry out the FEED engineering for a 210 MW electrolysis plant that will form a central part of the Pacífico Mexinol project in Sinaloa, Mexico.

This plant will be integrated into an ultra-low carbon methanol facility with a capacity of 6,130 metric tons per day. It is estimated that it will be able to generate more than 4,000 kg of green hydrogen per hour. Once operational, scheduled for 2029, it will be the largest of its kind in the Americas and one of the largest in the world.

“At Techint E&C, we talk about our passion for making projects a reality, and this is even more evident in high-impact challenges such as Mexinol, which allow us to contribute our technical expertise and continue building a better future for everyone,” said Esteban Trouet, Project Director.

Meanwhile, Siemens Energy will contribute its track record in green hydrogen production. Its Elyzer P-300 technology will be key to achieving the efficiency, sustainability, and scalability objectives defined for this stage.

The Pacífico Mexinol project is led by Transition Industries in partnership with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), part of the World Bank Group. In the words of Rommel Gallo, CEO of Transition Industries: "This milestone represents a significant step forward in our mission to drive innovation and sustainability in the chemical sector. The partnership with Siemens Energy and Techint E&C allows us to develop the hydrogen production component of our Pacífico Mexinol project, reducing emissions and contributing to the global energy transition."

Once operational, the complex is expected to be the world's largest ultra-low carbon methanol facility, with an estimated annual production of 350,000 metric tons of green methanol and 1.8 million metric tons of blue methanol, using natural gas with carbon capture. This project will mark a turning point in the industry, positioning Mexico and its technology partners as global leaders in innovation and energy sustainability.
