The agreement marks a milestone for the Aslan Net Zero Energy Mexico project, a solar-powered green hydrogen and ammonia facility.

Singapore’s Aslan Energy Capital has signed a memorandum of understanding with California-based CalYan XGH for the supply of 100,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of sustainable hydrogen.

The supply will originate from Aslan’s green hydrogen project in Sonora, Mexico, marking an important step towards a net zero energy future.

Located in Caborca, Sonora, the 35,000-hectare project is strategically positioned with deepwater marine access near Puerto Lobos.

The facility, to be operational by 2028, will utilise the region’s solar resources to generate renewable energy for hydrogen production through electrolysis.

This agreement represents a milestone for the Aslan Net Zero Energy Mexico (ANEM) project, a solar-powered facility focused on producing green hydrogen and ammonia.

Aslan will ensure the delivery of hydrogen to the Southern California border.

CalYan XGH will then manage downstream distribution and infrastructure.

The collaboration is poised to support the state’s increasing demand for clean energy, with a focus on powering technology data centres and sustainable mobility infrastructures.

Aslan Energy Capital CEO Muthu Chezhian stated: “This collaboration underscores both parties’ commitment to accelerating the global energy transition and fostering sustainable development.”

“By combining our infrastructure expertise with CalYan’s market leadership in California, we aim to set a new benchmark for sustainable hydrogen production and export.”

CalYan XGH CEO Yathish Sarathy added: “We are excited to be part of Aslan’s transformational journey and to help build a transparent, vibrant hydrogen marketplace for our customers.”

In August 2024, Aslan Energy Capital and Indonesia’s PT Calypte Sugi Power signed an agreement to develop a power generation hub on Sugi Island in Indonesia’s Riau Islands province.

The project aims to establish 1GW of solar power capacity by the third quarter of 2026, focusing on large-scale solar and sustainable clean power generation.
