Mexico's Accelerating Hydrogen Potential in 2025
Key Ideas
  • Mexico's hydrogen potential is set to speed up in 2025 following a promising industry meeting with the energy ministry.
  • The development of a national hydrogen strategy is on the horizon, with 19 hydrogen projects underway representing investments of over US$20 billion.
  • State-owned energy companies CFE and Pemex are increasingly involved in clean hydrogen initiatives, with plans to integrate hydrogen into power plants and refineries.
  • Other sectors like datacenters are also seen as potential future consumers of hydrogen in Mexico, highlighting diverse opportunities for hydrogen adoption.
Mexico's hydrogen potential is poised for significant acceleration in 2025 as the country plans to develop a national hydrogen strategy. A recent industry meeting between the Mexican hydrogen association and the energy ministry has paved the way for collaboration towards this goal. With 19 hydrogen projects already in progress, attracting investments exceeding US$20 billion, Mexico is positioning itself as a key player in hydrogen production, consumption, and export. State-owned energy companies like CFE and Pemex are actively engaging in clean hydrogen initiatives, aiming to incorporate hydrogen into their operations. CFE plans to blend solar-generated hydrogen with natural gas for power generation, while Pemex intends to utilize renewable energy-derived hydrogen in its refineries, initially through imports and later local production. Additionally, other sectors such as energy-intensive datacenters are being identified as potential future demand areas for hydrogen in Mexico, diversifying the scope of hydrogen utilization. The collaborative efforts between public policymakers and industry players signal a positive outlook for Mexico's hydrogen industry, enhancing sustainability and clean technology prospects in the country.
