About

HIF Haru Oni is the first operating e-Fuels 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 e-Fuels, including synthetic green gasoline (e-Gasoline) and synthetic green Liquefied Gas (e-LG). The facility is preparing for the installation and future operation of the first Direct Air Capture unit in the world for e-Fuels production.

HIF Haru Oni has received over 2,900 visitors from all over the world since its inauguration.
