Transition Industries LLC, a developer of large-scale, net-zero carbon emission methanol and hydrogen plants, has awarded a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract to Siemens Energy and Techint Engineering & Construction. The contract covers the development of a 210 MW Elyzer P-300 electrolyzer facility, which will be an integral part of the Pacifico Mexinol project in Sinaloa, Mexico. This facility will support the production of ultra-low carbon methanol, with an estimated output of 6,130 MT per day.
The FEED contract represents a critical phase in the collaboration between Transition Industries, Techint, and Siemens Energy. This partnership aims to utilize advanced technologies and engineering expertise to create a highly efficient, reliable green hydrogen production system.
Under the terms of the agreement, Siemens Energy and Techint will initially provide a binding not-to-exceed lump sum price, followed by a final lump sum price for the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) of the electrolyzer facility. Once completed in 2029, the Pacifico Mexinol facility is expected to become the world’s largest standalone ultra-low carbon chemical production plant. It will also rank among the biggest producers of green hydrogen and green methanol globally.
Rommel Gallo, CEO of Transition Industries, stated, “This marks a key milestone in our mission to innovate and drive sustainability within the chemical sector. By partnering with Siemens Energy and Techint E&C, we are positioning ourselves to develop the hydrogen production aspect of the Pacifico Mexinol project, advancing both emissions reduction and global energy transition efforts.”
The hydrogen plant will be designed to meet the growing global demand for sustainable hydrogen. The FEED study will focus on optimizing the design and engineering aspects of the facility, which is projected to produce around 4,000 kg of green hydrogen per hour. The plant will meet the highest safety, environmental, and operational standards.
Siemens Energy, a global leader in energy technology, was selected for its expertise in green hydrogen production. The Elyzer P-300 technology from Siemens will be a central component in achieving the project’s efficiency, scalability, and sustainability goals.
Alejandro Maluf, President of Techint E&C’s North America region, emphasized, “At Techint, we are driven by a passion for impactful projects like the Pacifico Mexinol. This partnership allows us to contribute our technical expertise to one of the largest green hydrogen plants in America, supporting the energy transition and a sustainable future.”
Transition Industries is working on the Pacifico Mexinol project in collaboration with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group. When operational in 2029, the facility is expected to be the world’s largest ultra-low carbon methanol production plant, producing 350,000 MT of green methanol and 1.8 million MT of blue methanol annually through carbon capture and natural gas.
Based in Houston, Texas, Transition Industries is committed to developing world-scale, net-zero carbon emission methanol and green hydrogen projects across North America. The company focuses on addressing climate change while promoting environmental and social sustainability.
