HIF Global's facility HIF Haru Oni produces e-Fuels with the strong winds of Patagonia and state-of-the-art technology. It is the first plant of its kind in the world, and very important for the future scalability of the technology and mass production of e-Fuels. Inaugurated in 2022, Haru Oni is certified under ISCC Plus and has concluded eight exports of e-Gasoline to its client Porsche.
HIF has four commercial-scale e-Fuels facilities in advance development stage: HIF Matagorda in United States, HIF Paysandú in Uruguay, HIF Cabo Negro in Chile, and HIF Tasmania in Australia. The company is also working on additional projects in earlier phase of development and exploring sites in all geographies for future facilities.
The Matagorda plant will be the first large-scale e-Fuels facility in the world and expects to produce approximately 1.4 million tons per year of e-Methanol when fully constructed. It will provide approximately 4,000 jobs during construction and approximately 140 direct jobs during operations, and will benefit not only Matagorda County, but all of South Texas.
The HIF Paysandú e-Fuels facility will be our first project in Uruguay, and our largest in South America. It will provide approximately 3,000 jobs during construction and approximately 300 direct jobs during operations.
The first commercial-scale e-Fuels facility in Chile, taking the advantage of the strong winds of Magallanes region. It will provide approximately 900 jobs during construction and approximately 400 direct jobs during operations.
The first commercial scale e-Fuels facility to be built in Australia, harnessing the natural advantages of Tasmania to accelerate decarbonization. It will provide approximately 600 jobs during construction and 200 full-time permanent jobs during operations.
