Factors such as a potential demand for renewable energies, the Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada, as well as its geographical location, mean that Mexico has the capacity to produce and export hydrogen to Europe, Asia and the United States.

Although for this it is necessary to work on the creation of a legal framework that generates certainty and detonates this nascent industry, as well as the creation of value chains throughout this energy, experts agreed.

Israel Hurtado, executive president of the Mexican Hydrogen Association, commented that Mexico may have lower production costs compared to other countries.

He highlighted that the region has a highly energy-intensive industry, as well as the trend of industrial decarbonization, where hydrogen enters as an energy vector and replaces fossil fuels, promoting decarbonization; and added that in this zone the three elements such as production, consumption and export can be combined.

There are many activities in which permission is not needed to use hydrogen and to occupy it, which is why Guadalupe Ramos, president of the Mexican Hydrogen Society, called for the energy industry and academia to promote changes to the regulation.

He explained that there is a great opportunity with all those companies that are currently producing and consuming gray hydrogen to make a small change in these industries, which implies great savings, a reduction in the carbon footprint and improvement in energy efficiency.

Within the objectives of Expo Hydrogen is to trigger the creation of a value chain in the industries that will benefit from the production of hydrogen.

In the automotive industry, Mexico plays a fundamental role in the production of the fleet of electric vehicles that are generated and that will be demanded by international markets.
