The First Liters of Synthetic Fuels Celebrated by HIF Global

HIF Global together with its partners, authorities, and community representatives, celebrates the production of the first liters of synthetic gasoline at the Haru Oni Demonstration Plant in southern Chile.

Chile's Minister of Energy, Diego Pardow, headed the ceremony where a Porsche 911 was loaded with synthetic fuel, starting a new era for the transport sector, in which fuel made with renewable power, green hydrogen, and recycled CO2 could displace conventional fossil fuels without modifications to engines and infrastructure required.

"It is key that the new green hydrogen industry favors the creation of employment and improves people's quality of life. This way, we will be providing certainty for a much more sustainable future. And HIF's Haru Oni plant has that symbolic value. One that allows us to look to a future where other forms of energy are possible. We need these moments of optimism at a time when so many forces are holding us back on our climate goals", said Ministry Pardow.

César Norton, President, and CEO of HIF Global said, "First synthetic fuels at Haru Oni is a milestone in the fight against climate change, not only for Chile but for the entire world. A little over a year ago we had the groundbreaking of this dream that today becomes a reality: to produce eFuels with the power of the Patagonian wind. It is a concrete solution, here and now, to the main challenge of humanity. We are proud to take this first step here in Punta Arenas because we know it will be decisive for the future of the next generations".
