Houston, Texas-based project developer Transition Industries LLC has awarded a front-end engineering design (FEED) contract for a 210-MW electrolyser in Mexico to Siemens Energy (ETR:ENR) and Techint Engineering and Construction.
The electrolyser will be part of the company’s Pacifico Mexinol methanol project in Sinaloa, Mexico, that is set to produce 6,130 tonnes of methanol per day. Transition Industries is co-developing the project with the International Finance Corporation (IFC). Pacifico Mexinol is expected to start operation in 2029 and to produce 350,000 tonnes of green methanol and 1.8 million tonnes of blue methanol annually.
"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," Rommel Gallo, Transition Industries CEO, said in an announcement on Thursday.
The facility is planned to use Siemens Energy’s Elyzer P-300 electrolyser technology.
