The FEED study marks the next step in the expanding partnership between Transition Industries, Techint Engineering & Construction, and Siemens Energy. Under the terms of the agreement, Siemens Energy and Techint E&C will provide an initial binding not-to-exceed Lump Sum Firm Price, followed by a final binding Lump Sum Turnkey Firm Price for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) of the electrolyzer facility.
Rommel Gallo, Transition Industries CEO, 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 be designed to produce approximately 4,000 kg of hydrogen per hour to support the growing demand for sustainable hydrogen. The FEED study will focus on optimizing the design, standardisation, and engineering aspects of the facility while adhering to the highest safety, environmental and operational standards. Siemens Energy’s Elyzer P-300 technology will play a key role in ensuring efficiency, sustainability, and scalability.
“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, which are the ones that allow us to contribute with all our technical expertise, be part of a key energy transition project as the largest green hydrogen plant in America, and continue building a better future for everyone,” said Alejandro Maluf, President – North America Region, Techint E&C.
Once operational in 2029, Pacifico Mexinol is expected to be the largest standalone ultra-low-carbon chemical production facility and one of the largest producers of green hydrogen and green methanol in the world. It will produce approximately 350,000 MT of green methanol and 1.8 million MT of blue methanol annually from natural gas with carbon capture. Transition Industries is jointly developing the project with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group.
