In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that Siemens Energy and Techint Engineering & Construction (E&C), a part of the Italian-Argentine Techint Group, have been selected to carry out the front-end engineering design (FEED) for a 210 MW electrolysis plant that will form part of the low-carbon methanol project, Pacifico Mexinol, located in Sinaloa, Mexico.
The report stated that the plant will be able to generate more than 4,000 kg of green hydrogen per hour. Once operational, scheduled for 2029, it is expected to be “the largest of its kind in the Americas and one of the largest in the world.”
The Pacifico Mexinol project, worth over $3.3 billion, is led by U.S.-based Transition Industries in partnership with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), part of the World Bank, and is set to be executed by a consortium composed of third parties.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, the report added.
