Aslan Energy Capital (Aslan) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to supply 100,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of sustainable hydrogen to CalYan XGH Inc., a California-based company. This hydrogen will be sourced from Aslan’s green hydrogen project in Sonora, Mexico, marking a significant milestone in the development of clean energy solutions for both Mexico and international markets.
The agreement is a key step forward for the Aslan Net-Zero Energy Mexico (ANEM) Project, a large-scale facility dedicated to producing green hydrogen and green ammonia using renewable energy. The ANEM project is strategically located in Caborca, Sonora, covering an expansive 35,000-hectare area along the coastline near Puerto Lobos. This prime location provides access to deepwater marine infrastructure, facilitating the efficient transport of hydrogen and ammonia to global markets, including the United States.
Set to begin operations by 2028, the ANEM project will leverage Sonora’s abundant solar resources to generate renewable energy. This solar power will be used to operate electrolyzers, which split water molecules to produce green hydrogen, ensuring a sustainable and carbon-free energy supply. The initiative aligns with Mexico’s broader environmental goals and reinforces its position as a key player in the global transition toward clean energy.
Aslan Energy Capital (Aslan) and CalYan XGH Inc. have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore a strategic partnership for the supply of sustainable hydrogen. Under this agreement, CalYan may purchase up to 100,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of green hydrogen from Aslan’s Net-Zero Energy Mexico (ANEM) project in Sonora, Mexico. The partnership aims to create a reliable and efficient clean hydrogen supply chain to meet California’s growing demand for sustainable energy.
As part of the agreement, Aslan will handle the delivery of hydrogen to the Southern California border, ensuring a steady supply from its production facilities in Sonora. CalYan will oversee the downstream distribution and infrastructure within California, facilitating the integration of hydrogen into various sectors. The company plans to act as a key offtaker, supporting the expansion of clean energy use in technology data centers and sustainable mobility infrastructures.
Muthu Chezhian, CEO of Aslan Energy Capital, said in a statement, “This collaboration underscores both parties’ commitment to accelerating the global energy transition and fostering sustainable development. By combining our infrastructure expertise with CalYan’s market leadership in California, we aim to set a new benchmark for sustainable hydrogen production and export.”
“We are excited to be part of Aslan’s transformational journey and to help build a transparent, vibrant hydrogen marketplace for our customers,” commented Yathish Sarathy, CEO of CalYan XGH.
This collaboration represents a major step toward advancing California’s hydrogen economy while leveraging Mexico’s renewable energy potential. By combining Aslan’s expertise in green hydrogen production with CalYan’s distribution capabilities, the partnership aims to strengthen cross-border clean energy trade and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future.
