KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 (Bernama) -- The Province of Tierra del Fuego and MMEX Resources Corporation have jointly announced the potential development of a green hydrogen project in the Río Grande area.
The Governor of the Province of Tierra del Fuego, Gustavo Adrian Melella announced: “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 tonnes of green hydrogen with 160 megawatts of base wind power.”
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.
