Mexico Seeking to Join Latin American Peers in Hydrogen Push As numerous Latin American nations announce hydrogen projects with an eye toward the global market, Mexico is looking to join the party. “At a federal level, nothing is really happening,” Mexico energy expert Gonzalo Monroy told NGI’s Mexico GPI, “but there are initiatives at the local level.” One of those initiatives was the formal launch in February of Mexican hydrogen group Asociación Mexicana de Hidrógeno (AMH). Formed by Israel Hurtado, a former commissioner at Mexican energy regulator Comisión Reguladora de Energía (CRE), the organization brings together more than 30 energy companies. It also includes energy trade groups and agencies from the states of Coahuila, Sonora, Tamaulipas, Hidalgo, Campeche, Puebla and Nuevo León.
Latin America Looking to Take Slice of Global Hydrogen Pie As Latin American nations establish aggressive climate goals, hydrogen is poised to become an important part of the energy puzzle, but numerous operators in the region are thinking bigger and toward the global market. Latin America could become “a key contributor to the global push toward low‑carbon hydrogen,” according to a recent study by the International Energy Agency (IEA). However, it will likely be a decade before meaningful progress is made. More than 120 countries have so far announced their intention to bring emissions to net zero by the middle of this century, according to IEA, and hydrogen will almost undoubtedly be an important part of this push. The global energy watchdog suggested that today’s early stage technologies including hydrogen will likely need to contribute “almost half of the emissions reductions” in the push to net zero.
