Hy2gen, a leading company in the renewable energy sector, has recently unveiled its ambitious plans to construct a state-of-the-art renewable ammonia production facility in Campeche, Mexico.
With a massive capacity of 200MW, the plant, known as the Marengo project, aims to generate an impressive annual output of 180,000 tonnes of renewable ammonia. The primary target market for this eco-friendly product will be customers in the European Union.
In order to bring this vision to fruition, Hy2gen has entered into a cooperation agreement with local development partners. As part of the agreement, comprehensive feasibility studies and front-end engineering design (FEED) studies will be conducted.
These studies will serve the purpose of gathering essential construction data and acquiring crucial insights into the operational aspects of the production plant. The completion of these studies is estimated to take between 24 to 36 months.
Following the successful conclusion of the study phase, the construction of the plant will commence. The projected timeline indicates that production is anticipated to commence in the third quarter of 2028.
“Marengo will play an important role in the production of renewable ammonia for the European Union,” said Hy2gen CEO Cyril Dufau-Sansot.
“This is mainly due to the ideal conditions at the site location, such as constant wind and many hours of sunshine. Marengo’s electricity needs will therefore be secured by a 415MW wind farm and a 230MW solar farm.”
