Transition Industries is jointly developing the Pacifico Mexinol project with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group. When it initiates operations in 2029, Pacifico Mexinol is poised to be the largest standalone ultra-low carbon chemical production facility in the world – producing approximately 350,000 MT of green methanol and 1.8 million MT of blue methanol annually from carbon capture and natural gas.

“Today’s signing ceremony represents a significant milestone for the Pacifico Mexinol project, enabling us to showcase our world-class innovation and partnerships with Samsung E&A of South Korea, Techint of Mexico and MAIRE Group of Italy. It also puts us on track to break ground in 2025 and begin delivering on our unwavering commitment to build the world’s most sustainable large-scale project in Mexico,” says Rommel Gallo, CEO of Transition Industries.

The event was attended by federal, state and municipal government officials, as well as ambassadors from the countries involved in this multi-national project.

IFC was also present at the ceremony, along with other strategic commercial partners that will deliver key aspects of state-of-the-art technology and engineering to the project, including green hydrogen and the largest industrial wastewater recycling and use program globally.

Transition Industries expects to sign additional strategic agreements and reach significant milestones this summer. The project is expected to be presented as an example of an ultra-low carbon chemicals project at scale at COP 30 in Belem, Brazil in November 2025.
