Haru Oni
Demonstration Plant
From Magallanes, one of the southernmost points in the world, we begin our journey towards decarbonization.
Discover a new generation eFuel: green and carbon-neutral
About Haru Oni
We use state-of-the-art technology to harness the power of the winds in Magallanes to produce a carbon neutral eFuel.
Haru Oni is the first operating eFuels facility in the world. The plant uses renewable energy from the wind and a process called electrolysis to produce green hydrogen. The facility uses biogenic CO2 and a process of synthesis to combine the CO2 and hydrogen to produce eFuels, including carbon neutral gasoline (eGasoline) and carbon neutral Liquefied Gas (eLG). The eFuel will create a way for existing infrastructure to become carbon neutral by continuously reusing and recycling the CO2.

With the help of the wind. A wind as constant and unique as the one that blows in southern Chile. The wind will provide us with energy... the clean energy we need to make this happen.
