Mexico has begun construction of the Topolobampo-El Encino natural gas pipeline in the northwestern state of Sinaloa, which will contribute to the generation of cheaper electricity and feed a new fertilizer plant.
The pipeline will diversify industry in Mexico's northwest, as well as create jobs and boost economic development in the region, said Ochoa Reza, chief executive of state-owned utility CFE.
The pipeline will supply natural gas to a US$1bn fertilizer plant, the largest in Latin America, to be built in Topolobampo port, as reported by BNamericas earlier this month.
