Within the nearshoring framework in Mexico, the focus on energy storage and clean hydrogen development emerges as a crucial strategy to address energy challenges and optimize the country infrastructure simultaneously.

The foreign companies who are considering setting up in the country under the nearshoring model requires guarantees of electricity availability and sustainable energy solutions, which creates a wide range of opportunities for storage and clean hydrogen in Mexico.

• Discover the energy demand generated by nearshoring: explore how the increase in economic activity driven by nearshoring leads to a greater need for energy, especially from renewable sources
• Explore energy storage technologies: get into the world of smart lithium-ion batteries and other energy storage technologies, which can optimally manage renewable energy, improve grid quality and offer innovative solutions
• Understand the impact on energy infrastructure: examine how energy storage and clean hydrogen have the potential to reduce the need for costly energy infrastructure investments, particularly in key nearshoring states such as Nuevo Leon, Sonora, Chihuahua, Baja California, Tamaulipas and others
• Learn about clean hydrogen opportunities: discover how clean hydrogen can help mitigate Mexico’s energy dependence on natural gas from the United States, offering opportunities for a transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy sources in the industrial sector
