HIF awards Feed contract for Texas efuels plant
Developer plans to produce 750mn l/yr of gasoline from captured carbon and green hydrogen by 2027
Efuels developer HIF has awarded a 12-month Feed contract to US engineering, procurement and construction company Bechtel, Germany’s Siemens Energy and Denmark’s Topsoe for an efuels manufacturing facility in Matagorda County, Texas. Siemens will be responsible for the engineering and design of the project’s electrolysers, which will be required to produce 300,000t/yr of green hydrogen. Topsoe will focus on the engineering and design to synthesise methanol from green hydrogen and carbon captured from the atmosphere, as well as the further conversion of methanol to gasoline. 300,000t/yr – Planned green hydrogen production Efuels can be used as drop-in fuels for existing vehicles witho
