SONORA, Mexico, July 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A significant step towards sustainable energy production and environmental preservation was taken by Aslan Energy Capital (Aslan Energy) by signing an MOU for the acquisition of 35,000 hectares of land in Sonora, Mexico. The land will serve as the foundation for the pioneering ANEM (Aslan Net-zero Energy Mexico) Project, which is a first of its kind solar-based green hydrogen and green ammonia production facility, aiming to revolutionize Mexico’s, and eventually North America’s, energy landscape while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions.

The signing of the MOU, which is aligned with Mexico’s Sonora Plan, marks the beginning of a collaborative effort to harness renewable resources for the production of clean energy and ensuring vital agricultural sovereignty. The project is poised to play a pivotal role in driving down fertilizer prices in Mexico, thereby fostering agricultural sustainability and economic growth.

The ANEM Project is situated in a coastal area of Sonora, a region renowned for its exceptional solar irradiance. The project capitalizes on abundant sunlight to power green hydrogen production. The utilization of solar energy for green hydrogen and ammonia production underscores the project’s commitment to sustainability and alignment with Mexico’s climate goals.

“The MOU signing represents a significant milestone in our journey towards a greener, more sustainable future,” said Dr Gho Wie Min, VP Engineering of Aslan Energy. “By leveraging Sonora’s abundant solar resources, we aim to not only produce clean energy but also contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions in Mexico. This project holds immense potential to transform the energy landscape and drive positive change across multiple sectors, specifically green hydrogen for data centers and transportation. Green ammonia derived from the project delivers strengthened food security, while upholding energy self-sufficiency.” With an extensive track record of executing large-scale energy projects, including the ongoing 600 MW electrolyser-based green hydrogen plant in Indonesia — the largest in Asia, Aslan Energy is equipped with the expertise and experience to pioneer this mega project in North America.

Commercial operations are scheduled to commence in 2028, with Phase 1 producing nearly 600,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year, marking a crucial step towards realizing the project’s objectives. Production capacity will be doubled as part of Phase 2 by 2030.

With the implementation of the ANEM Project, green hydrogen will stand as a pivotal component of Mexico’s Sonora Plan, offering a transformative pathway towards a sustainable and diversified energy future, fully aligned with Mexico’s national vision on clean energy and climate change. Integrating green hydrogen into the plan and gas networks not only reduces reliance on fossil fuels but also enhances energy security and resilience. Moreover, the adoption of green hydrogen fosters innovation and economic growth, positioning Sonora as a leader in the global transition to clean energy. With its vast potential and strategic significance, green hydrogen is poised to play a central role in shaping Sonora’s energy landscape and advancing Mexico’s commitment to a low-carbon future and its recent COP27 and COP28 commitments. Aslan Energy is keen on developing a localized supply chain hub in Sonora and providing an open platform to welcome strategic solar equipment manufacturers and hydrogen technology companies to establish a near shore production facility in Sonora that can collaboratively support and benefit from this mega project.

Considering the sizableness of the land, the project will be developed in four phases over a 10-year period. The primary purpose is to serve the domestic market in Mexico and excess capacity will be allocated for export to the US through the well-established railways between the US and Mexico. Potential for export to Japan and other markets through a dedicated ammonia shipping terminal is also under evaluation. Preliminary feasibility studies have been completed and the results demonstrate positive economic viability. Front End Engineering Design is expected to commence in Q3 2024 with the first green ammonia shipment planned for 2028. With a focus on innovation, efficiency, and environmental responsibility, the ANEM Project sets a precedent for sustainable development in the region.

The ANEM project’s impact extends beyond energy production with the potential to catalyze advancements in agriculture, transportation, and beyond in Mexico. By pioneering the production of green hydrogen and ammonia, the project aligns with global efforts to transition towards a low-carbon economy and mitigate the impacts of climate change.

June 18, 2026

MUNICH, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The District Court Munich, Germany (Landgericht München I) today ruled in favor of Infineon Technologies in two further of the patent infringement cases – specifically one based on a patent one based on a utility model – concerning gallium nitride (GaN) technology between Infineon and Innoscience.

The cases concern the unauthorized use of GaN technologies patented by Infineon by the Chinese company Innoscience. With today’s rulings, the court prohibits Innoscience from manufacturing, selling, and marketing additional patent-infringing products in Germany. Furthermore, the court has ordered Innoscience to pay damages to Infineon.

This marks Innoscience’s third and fourth legal defeat in a series of court cases, each of which found that Innoscience’s products infringe Infineon’s patents. Courts and authorities in both Germany and the United States have repeatedly concluded that Innoscience’s products infringe Infineon’s intellectual property rights. Prior rulings include the decision against Innoscience from August 1, 2025, in an initial German proceeding. Furthermore, on May 7, the Full Commission of the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) found that Innoscience had infringed an Infineon patent in the field of gallium nitride (GaN) technology. Additional proceedings regarding the infringement of other Infineon patents are pending in the U.S. and Germany.

GaN plays a pivotal role in enabling high-performance and energy-efficient power systems in a broad range of applications, including renewable energy systems, data centers, industrial automation, and electric vehicles (EVs).

“Today’s ruling demonstrates the value of our GaN portfolio and underscores our commitment to vigorously defending our intellectual property and promoting fair competition,” said Johannes Schoiswohl, Senior Vice President and Head of Infineon’s GaN Systems Business Line.
