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 holds ISCC Plus certification for 2023–24–25 and ISCC EU RFNBO certification for 2025, and has completed several e-Gasoline exports to its customer Porsche for various demonstration events.
HIF has five projects commercial-scale e-Fuels facilities in advance development stage: HIF Matagorda in United States, HIF Paysandú in Uruguay, HIF Cabo Negro in Chile, HIF Tasmania in Australia and HIF Açu in Brazil. 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 U.S. 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.
700,000 tons/year of e-Methanol
900,000 tons/year CO₂ recycled
1.1 GW electrolyzer capacity
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.
175,000 tons/year e-Methanol
215,000 tons/year CO₂ recycled
287 MW electrolyzer capacity
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.
210,000 tons/year e-Methanol
~300,000 tons/year CO₂ recycled
