SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14, 2025 — Aslan Energy Capital (Aslan) has agreed to provide CalYan XGH Inc., a California-based company, with 100,000 tonnes of sustainable hydrogen annually. This supply will come from Aslan’s green hydrogen project in Sonora, Mexico. This deal is a significant step forward for the Aslan Net-Zero Energy Mexico (ANEM) Project, a solar-powered facility creating green hydrogen and ammonia.
Located in Caborca, Sonora, Mexico, ANEM is slated to begin operations in 2028, marking substantial progress towards Mexico’s net-zero goals. The 35,000-hectare project, situated along Sonora’s coast near Puerto Lobos, has convenient deepwater port access. This project involves building a solar farm, using Sonora’s abundant sunlight to power electrolyzers for sustainable hydrogen production.
Strategic Partnership with CalYan XGH
Aslan and CalYan have entered into a memorandum of understanding to explore a partnership where CalYan would purchase up to 100,000 tonnes annually of sustainable hydrogen from ANEM in Sonora. This collaboration aims to create a smooth clean hydrogen supply chain to California.
Aslan will be responsible for hydrogen delivery to the Southern California border; CalYan will manage distribution and infrastructure within California to ensure efficient use. CalYan will be a major buyer, supporting California’s growing need for clean energy, especially for data centers and sustainable transportation.
