The Mexican Hydrogen Association (AMH2) reported on the progress of the 16 projects related to green hydrogen in the country and estimated that some will begin to take shape at the end of 2025 or 2026.
Green hydrogen has the capacity to replace fossil fuels in various industries without emitting carbon dioxide, due to its wide range of end uses, ranging from industrial, storage, heating and transportation applications, making it a vector crucial energy for global decarbonization.
“As they are issues that require some technical norms or standards that have to be adapted or adapted and, furthermore, as they are very large projects, there is a project of 10,000 million dollars, imagine the engineering behind it and all the related issues. I would hope that at the end of next year or around 2026,” indicated the president of the Mexican Hydrogen Association.
In a press conference to announce the “Industrial Hydrogen Strategy”, he indicated that the important thing is that the authorizations are already in place for some of the projects that, together, will require investments greater than 20,000 million dollars and are focused on different industries and areas of the country.
The 16 identified projects are of different types: green hydrogen production (7); use of green hydrogen (5); green ammonia production (3); green methanol production (1).
José Luis Sánchez, consultant at Environmental Resources Management (ERM), the firm that developed the Industrial Hydrogen Strategy, highlighted that there are significant opportunities for the development of the clean hydrogen industry in Mexico, since the country has vast renewable energy potential. , especially solar, geothermal and wind.
Furthermore, due to its geographical position, Mexico can position itself as an important exporter of green hydrogen, and in terms of industrial infrastructure, the country has great conversion potential for production chains and use of green hydrogen.
Some recommendations for the implementation of an industrial hydrogen development strategy include support for the development of infrastructure and adoption of necessary technology; evaluation of current and potential demand in strategic sectors; training programs; an inter-institutional monitoring scheme that ensures the alignment of incentives and stimulates investment, robust institutional coordination and international cooperation.
