This is Pacífico Mexinol, a project promoted by Transition Industries LLC in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico.

Together with Samsung E&A, with whom it will form a consortium to develop the project, Techint Engineering & Construction participated in an event held on Monday, June 30th, in Mexico City where important announcements were made regarding an agreement that will allow Techint to participate in a unique project: the construction of the world's largest ultra-low emission methanol plant, which will be located in the municipality of Ahome, Sinaloa, Mexico.

The event was held between Transition Industries LLC, Samsung and Techint E&C (as members of the consortium that will be formed to execute the EPC contract), and Maire Group, in the presence of federal, state and municipal government officials, and ambassadors from the countries involved in this multinational project.

Alejandro Maluf, President – North America Region, said: “We would like to especially thank Transition Industries for their trust, our partners Samsung and Siemens for their commitment, and the authorities who support this project.”

“This event represents an important, albeit initial, step on a challenging path that still requires contractual and regulatory definitions to be met in order to be realised, but I have no doubt that, with the joint effort of everyone here, we will be able to move forward towards the realisation of this great challenge,” explained Alejandro Maluf, President – North America Region, during the event.

“At Techint, we talk about passion for doing, but even more so when it comes to challenging, high-impact projects like Mexinol, which allow us to contribute all our technical expertise, be part of an international milestone and continue building a better future for everyone,” said Esteban Trouet, Project Director.

The project

The Mexinol project involves an investment of more than $3.3 billion. It will include a plant with the capacity to produce 6,130 m³ of methanol per day using carbon capture technology, reaching a combined annual production of green methanol (350,000 tonnes) and blue methanol (1,800,000 tonnes).

Once operational, Mexinol will be the world's largest ultra-low carbon chemical production facility.
