Querétaro Inaugurates What Officials Call Mexico’s First Green Hydrogen Plant

The on-site facility uses renewable electricity to produce high‑purity hydrogen for Gerresheimer’s manufacturing complex.

Overview

  • Governor Mauricio Kuri presided over the Oct. 8 launch on International Hydrogen Day through a Gerresheimer–Cryoinfra partnership.
  • State officials cited a 100 million peso investment and forecast an annual reduction of roughly 100 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Cryoinfra developed and installed the electrolytic system, with power sourced from solar and wind according to the state’s sustainable development secretary.
  • Gerresheimer describes its Querétaro site as the largest in the Americas with capacity of 2.6 billion units a year, underscoring the case for on‑site hydrogen use.
  • Dinero en Imagen reported expected supply of about 500 cubic meters of green hydrogen per day for glass packaging production, powered by a local wind park.
