Efuels a route to use otherwise wasted wind – HIF

Developer plans to apply lessons learned from Haru Oni pilot project in Chile to future facilities, CEO for Emea tells Hydrogen Economist

Efuels are a controversial use of hydrogen, with critics arguing they prolong the use of internal combustion engine cars and may be carbon-neutral only on paper. But they could also represent a route to using renewable resources, such as wind in Chile, that would otherwise not be used within such countries due to relatively low energy demand, argues Thorsten Herdan, CEO Emea of developer HIF. HIF operates the Haru Oni efuels plant in the Magallanes region of Chile, which it says is the first of its type. The project uses wind power to generate green hydrogen, which it combines with biogenic CO₂ to produce efuels including carbon-neutral gasoline and carbon-neutral liquefied gas. “We ha
