HIF Tasmania eFuels Facility
HIF Tasmania will be the first commercial scale eFuels facility to be built in Australia, harnessing the natural advantages of Tasmania to help the world decarbonize.
The facility will use renewable energy from the local grid to power electrolyzers to produce green hydrogen. CO2 captured from Tasmanian plantation biomass will be combined with this hydrogen via synthesis. The resulting carbon neutral eFuels can be used in existing cars, trucks, ship, and planes without modifications required.
HIF Tasmania will be located on the Forico estate at Surrey Hills, 30km south of Burnie in North West Tasmania. Is expected to provide nearly 200 full-time permanent jobs during its anticipated 40-year of operating life.
The project is in the permitting and design phase.
