The HIF Story
2016-2018
HIF conducts studies and works with local experts to identify areas of maximum wind resource and minimum environmental impact. Review of cutting edge decarbonization technologies and markets to identify the optimum use for the energy which will be produced.
2019
Wind measurements commence in Chile. Power-to-methanol/gasoline technology selected and development of engineering solution begins for the Haru Oni project.
2020
HIF uses cutting-edge technological developments to harness the exceptional winds of Chile’s Magallanes Region to produce planet-friendly fuels, leading the way towards a low carbon future. October: Highly Innovative Fuels (HIF) is born, integrating cutting-edge technologies to produce low carbon fuels based on green hydrogen. November: HIF submits an ...
