ENER-G appointed Honorary Consulate for Mexico following landfill gas to energy projects

The Government of Mexico has inaugurated its new Honorary Consulate at waste to energy provider ENER-G in Greater Manchester, which is hoped to expand the presence of Mexico in the UK. In the Year of Mexico to the United Kingdom, the Ambassador of Mexico, Diego Gomez Pickering, headed the official ceremony in which he officially appointed Tim Scott, Chairman of ENER-G, as Honorary Consul of Mexico. The President of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, met the new Honorary Consul during a recent state visit to the UK. During his visit, he reiterated the “importance of strengthening the bonds of friendship between Mexico and the UK”. The new Honorary Consul of Mexico will have a constituency comprising the North West, North East, and Yorkshire and Humberside, with its capital in Greater Manchester. For the past ten years ENER-G has been exporting goods and services to Mexico, where it has two offices. The company has invested in a number of multi-million pound renewable energy projects, including the generation of green power from landfill gas for Nissan’s car plant in Aguascalientes. It was in June 2013 when ENER-G won a contract with the Mexican Municipality of Celaya to build and operate a landfill gas to energy facility at its Tinajitas Landfill in Celaya (read WMW story). According to Ambassador Gomez-Pickering: "Honorary Consul Tim Scott will provide valuable support promoting Mexico in the economic, commercial, cultural and touristic areas in Manchester, where there is great potential for the development of strategic links”. Scott added: "I am honoured to take up the role of Honorary Consul and to have an opportunity to offer assistance to Mexican Nationals in the North of England, as well as to help promote trading relationships between Mexico and the UK.” ### ENER-G contract at 4000 tpa food waste to biogas plant Third landfill gas to energy project for ENER-G in Mexico
