The cardinal authorities of Querétaro, known for its accent connected sustainable industry, has inaugurated Mexico’s archetypal greenish hydrogen plant, the effect of a concern betwixt a German and a Mexican company.
The project, teaming Gerresheimer, a German institution already manufacturing successful Mexico pharmaceutical solid utilized successful packaging medications, and the Mexican institution Cryoinfra, processors of cryogenic gases, required an concern of 100 cardinal pesos (US $5.3 million). It seeks to trim c emissions, fortify the circular economy, and pave the mode for caller vigor technologies.

Hydrogen is chiefly produced done h2o electrolysis, successful which hydrogen and oxygen molecules are separated. Unlike “gray hydrogen,” which is produced utilizing accepted vigor sources, greenish hydrogen uses energy from cleanable sources specified arsenic star oregon upwind power, and is itself a cleanable vigor source.
The caller works is located astatine the Gerresheimer complex, wherever the German institution produces 2.6 cardinal units of pharmaceutical solid annually. According to the company’s wide manager successful Querétaro, José Antonio Vega López, it is the largest specified manufacturing works successful the Americas.
The caller greenish hydrogen works is expected to enactment Gerresheimer’s accumulation by producing 500 cubic meters of greenish hydrogen per time for the pharmaceutical solid forming process, replacing fossil fuels and reducing CO₂ emissions by 100 tons per year.
Not lone volition operational emissions beryllium reduced to zero, but the caller dual relation works ensures a smaller logistical c footprint since the hydrogen for the pharmaceutical solid manufacturing volition already beryllium astatine its destination.
Fernando Trejo Álvarez, determination subdirector of Cryoinfra, which developed and installed the electrolysis plant, said that this task helps to trim emissions, diversifies the usage of cleanable energy, “and sets a precedent for much companies successful Querétaro and passim Mexico to put successful greenish hydrogen.”
“We are pushing for much jobs and much investment, but successful enactment with the extortion of earthy resources, which are becoming progressively scarce,” Trejo added, arsenic helium noted that greenish hydrogen is 1 of the energies of the future.
Querétaro authorities accidental that doctrine applies to the authorities arsenic a whole. “The vigor we usage comes from greenish sources, specified arsenic star and wind, which sets america isolated from different economies successful the country,” authorities Sustainable Development Minister Marco Antonio del Prete Tercero said astatine the inaugural event, led by Querétaro Governor Mauricio Kuri.
Mexico is an optimal portion for renewable vigor production, the Mexican Association of Hydrogen, Storage, and Sustainable Mobility (AMH2) has said. This is owed to its hydrogen accumulation costs, which are 64% little than successful different countries. This favorable script has led AMH2 successful collaboration with Mexico’s Ministry of Energy (Sener), to money 18 cleanable hydrogen projects successful an effort to trim greenhouse gases and nurture a nascent greenish hydrogen concern assemblage successful the country.
