As part of the studies conducted by HINICIO in collaboration with the Mexican-German Energy Partnership and GIZ México on the techno-economic potential of renewable hydrogen production in the states of Nuevo León, Coahuila, Baja California, Chihuahua, Puebla, Tamaulipas, and Guanajuato, a workshop was held in Campeche. This event brought together representatives from state secretaries and the private sector to analyze the challenges and opportunities for developing a hydrogen market in the country, defining the key roles of each stakeholder in its consolidation. Mexico, with its strategic location and close integration with northern countries, holds significant potential for hydrogen exports. Through active collaboration among relevant actors and the implementation of appropriate regulations and incentives, the country could position itself as an emerging leader in this industry. 🔗 Discover the studies we have conducted on the Mexican hydrogen market: https://lnkd.in/edpgn-yU ✉️ Contact us for further insights into the growth of this promising industry in the country: chile@hinicio.com and colombia@hinicio.com Saul Villamizar, Luisa Fernanda Bueno #Hydrogen #LatinAmerica #Mexico #HydrogenExports

As part of our active commitment to advancing hydrogen markets in Latin America, Nuria Hartmann, Manager at HINICIO, participated in the latest edition of Hydrogen Dialogue Latam in São Paulo. The event brought together representatives from emerging hydrogen hubs to present their sustainable development strategies, while key public and private stakeholders discussed recent announcements shaping the growth of Brazil’s Power-to-X market. One major initiative highlighted was the newly established incentive framework for #SAF. Starting with a mandatory 1% SAF blending target in 2027, the quota will increase by 1% per year, reaching 10% by 2037. This progressive policy is crucial for stimulating demand for renewable and low-carbon hydrogen in hard-to-abate sectors. Without sufficient demand, viable business cases for these technologies cannot materialize. At HINICIO, we assist our clients in understanding the impact of such policies on their projects, selecting the most appropriate technological pathways, and optimizing business cases for SAF and PtX projects worldwide. We are ready to partner with you to accelerate and de-risk your SAF projects—from strategy development to final investment decisions (FID). ✈️ For more information, reach out to our SAF expert, Louis Lammertyn. 👉 Want to learn more about the future of Power-to-X projects in Brazil?

We would like to congratulate CertifHy's RFNBO pre-certification process for two major renewable hydrogen projects in Canada: Exploits Valley Renewable Energy Corporation (EVREC) and Nujio'qonik. Project Nujio’qonik, set to become Canada’s first commercial-scale renewable hydrogen and ammonia facility, was audited by TÜV SÜD with support from HINICIO, and EVREC, a project that is estimated to produce nearly 200,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually, was audited by Bureau Veritas Group Veritas, also with HINICIO's support. This milestone highlights Canada's commitment to advancing its clean energy sector and sets a benchmark for future transatlantic initiatives. It also positions CertifHy as a leading standard for #RFNBO certification, enabling projects to address potential challenges before the initial certification audit, and ensuring readiness for commercial production and exports to the EU. At HINICIO we are proud to support these visionary initiatives, which exemplify how strategic planning and adherence to high certification standards can drive projects toward practical applications that achieve sustainable change globally. The announcement was made in the presence of Patrick Maio, Founder and CEO of HINICIO, John Abbott, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions of Newfoundland and Labrador, Patrick Van Gheel, Ambassador of Belgium to Canada, and representatives from both projects. As part of the mission, Patrick Maio also participated in a roundtable in Halifax organized by the Embassy of Belgium in Canada | Ambassade de Belgique au Canada | Ambassade van België in Canada. The discussion covered hydrogen production, infrastructure, project design and engineering, and support mechanisms in the country. Interested in learning more about these projects in Canada?

Ammonia stands out as one of the most traded chemical compounds worldwide, essential for fertilizer production and various applications in the chemical industry. In Colombia, the fertilizer industry is the second-largest hydrogen consumer- a key input for its synthesis- and notably relies on imports. In a recent study conducted by HINICIO and FENOGE for Monomeros Colombo Venezolanos S.A., and supported by The World Bank, we explored the vital role ammonia plays in global decarbonization initiatives. This comprehensive study examines the entire production process, exploring the value chain from renewable electricity generation to the transport and distribution of ammonia, offering an in-depth technical analysis. Colombia possesses substantial potential to enhance its domestic ammonia production by leveraging its abundant renewable hydrogen resources. This report presents crucial technical and economic insights aimed at fostering ammonia production in the country. 🔗 Discover the full report here: https://lnkd.in/e8TDiscz #Hydrogen #Ammonia #Colombia #RenewableHydrogen #RenewableAmmonia

HINICIO at #WorldHydrogenWeek 2024 in Copenhagen! Joris Vlasblom, Consultant at HINICIO Netherlands, attended #WorldHydrogenWeek, where industry leaders gathered to discuss the future of hydrogen. Joris gave two key Masterclasses, offering valuable insights: 🔹Maximizing Green H2 in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF): There’s growing interest in SAF, but also significant concerns regarding CO2 source eligibility and the competitiveness between the Fischer-Tropsch and Methanol-to-Jet pathways. There is a clear need to de-risk eSAF projects to realize to achieve the targets set for its consumption by 2030. 🔹Navigating Renewable and Low-Carbon Hydrogen Markets: Discussions need to shift towards hydrogen derivatives and real-world applications, moving beyond hydrogen alone. Stakeholders are also increasingly focusing on the regulatory and certification landscape, examining how different production methods affect sustainability credentials and ultimately market value. However, the upcoming RED III transposition has added uncertainty, keeping stakeholders waiting for clarity before they can invest. Joris also joined the panel discussion on 'Advancing Mobility: Innovation in Transportation and Distribution Strategies', alongside Dr. Thomas Hillig, Stine Sandermann Justesen, and experts from #OECD. Together, they explored the role of hydrogen and its derivatives in de-fossilizing transportation. Their conclusion focuses on serving end-use sectors, not on pushing the molecules to market. The HINICIO team is ready to dive deeper into these trends with you.
