Pacifico Mexinol set to become a global leader in green hydrogen and methanol production

Transition Industries LLC has awarded a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract to Siemens Energy and Techint Engineering & Construction for its landmark Pacifico Mexinol project in Sinaloa, Mexico—an initiative set to become the world’s largest standalone ultra-low carbon chemical production facility and one of the biggest producers of green hydrogen and green methanol globally.

Once operational in 2029, the Pacifico Mexinol plant will produce approximately 6,130 metric tons of ultra-low carbon methanol per day, supported by a 210 MW Elyzer P-300 electrolyser facility with a projected hydrogen output of 4,000 kilograms per hour. This positions the facility not only as a regional milestone but also as a flagship project in the global clean energy transition.

The FEED agreement represents a major step forward in the collaboration between Transition Industries, Siemens Energy, and Techint E&C. It includes an initial binding not-to-exceed Lump Sum Firm Price, leading to a final binding Lump Sum Turnkey Firm Price for the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) of the hydrogen plant.

Rommel Gallo, CEO of Transition Industries, 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 support the growing demand for sustainable fuels by applying Siemens Energy’s advanced Elyzer P-300 technology, designed for high-efficiency, scalable green hydrogen production. The FEED study will focus on optimising design, standardisation, and ensuring the highest levels of environmental, safety, and operational excellence.

Alejandro Maluf, President North America Region at Techint E&C, said: “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.

“This project enables us to apply our technical expertise to build the largest green hydrogen plant in the Americas and support a better energy future.”

Pacifico Mexinol is being developed in partnership with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group. At full operation, it will produce an estimated 350,000 metric tons of green methanol and 1.8 million metric tons of blue methanol annually, using natural gas with carbon capture technology.

This project underscores Transition Industries’ commitment to developing world-scale, net-zero carbon hydrogen and methanol infrastructure—and highlights the power of international collaboration in accelerating the clean energy transition.
