The North American clean hydrogen market continues to take shape with the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Aslan Energy Capital and CalYan XGH Inc. The agreement provides for the annual delivery of 100,000 tonnes of hydrogen produced from solar energy as part of the Aslan Net-Zero Energy Mexico (ANEM) project, located in Sonora, Mexico.

A large-scale hydrogen project in North America

The ANEM project covers 35,000 hectares in Caborca, Sonora, and aims to be operational by 2028. Its strategic location, near the port of Puerto Lobos, provides direct access to maritime infrastructure for the transport of hydrogen and green ammonia. The production will be powered by a vast solar farm, leveraging the region’s favorable sunlight conditions.

The agreement with CalYan XGH Inc. marks a significant step forward in exporting hydrogen to the United States. Aslan Energy Capital will handle delivery up to the southern California border, where CalYan will manage distribution and integration into local energy infrastructure.

A strategic partnership to meet California’s demand

California is emerging as a key market for clean hydrogen, particularly for sectors such as data centers and sustainable mobility. CalYan XGH Inc. positions itself as a central player in distribution, ensuring a reliable supply for businesses transitioning to clean energy.

Under the memorandum of understanding, Aslan will focus on production and cross-border logistics, while CalYan will oversee downstream operations in the California market. The goal is to establish a continuous supply chain between Mexican infrastructure and the growing demand for clean hydrogen in the United States.

Industrial and commercial ambitions

Aslan Energy Capital is developing an integrated approach to ensure the viability of large-scale hydrogen exports. The location of the ANEM project, combined with the production of green ammonia for storage and transport, represents a key logistical lever to meet the requirements of the U.S. market.

Aslan Energy Capital CEO Muthu Chezhian emphasized the importance of this collaboration for the future of clean hydrogen in North America. Meanwhile, CalYan XGH CEO Yathish Sarathy highlighted the need for increased market transparency to drive large-scale adoption of sustainable energy solutions.

With this agreement, the two companies aim to lay the foundations for an energy corridor between Mexico and the United States, responding to market developments and the imperative to decarbonize industrial and transportation infrastructure.
