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 project captures CO2 from a biogenic source and use 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.
