Transition Industries and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Sign Long-Term Methanol Agreement
Transition Industries LLC, a developer of large-scale methanol and hydrogen projects aiming for net-zero carbon emissions, has concluded a long-term agreement with Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc. (MGC) for the purchase and sale of ultra-low carbon methanol.
The agreement was signed in Tokyo on November 6, 2025, by Masahiko Naito, Division Director of MGC, and Rommel Gallo, CEO of Transition Industries.
Once the project reaches its Final Investment Decision (FID), Transition Industries will begin supplying MGC with approximately one million metric tons of ultra-low carbon methanol annually. The product will come from the Pacifico Mexinol project, a major methanol production facility being built near Topolobampo, Sinaloa, Mexico, with a capacity of 6,130 metric tons per day and expected to start operations in 2029.
The Pacifico Mexinol project is being jointly developed by Transition Industries and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group.
“We are proud to announce the signing of a long-term ultra-low carbon methanol purchase and sale agreement with MGC, a recognized global leader in chemical manufacturing and marketing,” said Rommel Gallo, CEO of Transition Industries.
