Tierra del Fuego and MMEX jointly announce the potential development of a green H2 project in the Río Grande area.
The Governor of the Province of Tierra del Fuego, Mr. Gustavo Adrian Melella said, “MMEX, a North American company with operations in Texas USA with extensive experience in the implementation, financing and operation of energy infrastructure in Latin America and the USA, is evaluating a project for the production of 55 tons of green hydrogen with 160 megawatts of base wind power.”
Governor Melella said, “The excellent wind conditions in the Río Grande area, which allow efficient logistics and production and direct access to the sea, are the basis for MMEX's entry into Argentine Patagonia. The final objective would be the implementation of a green hydrogen node destined to export to Europe and Asia. We welcome and support the participation of MMEX in Tierra del Fuego.”
Jack W. Hanks, the CEO of MMEX said, “We are very excited to join the Government of Tierra del Fuego to plan this project. The global focus on renewable energy and the need to reduce the planet's carbon footprint is at the core of Tierra del Fuego and MMEX's strategy, drawing on MMEX's green hydrogen expertise."
The provincial government, within its support for the development of renewable energy industries, welcomes initiatives that allow the sustainable use of Tierra del Fuego's resources and reaffirms, as a government, its commitment to sustainable development, the preservation of the environment, investment and employment.
