HIF Global, the eFuels company, and petroleum refiner ENEOS have reached a co-operation agreement designed to encourage the sale of carbon neutral fuel in Japan, according to a news release.
The agreement focuses on the supply of eFuels from HIF’s portfolio of developments in South America, USA and Australia to ENEOS, Japan’s largest petroleum refiner.
The agreement also extends to exploring the establishment of a carbon dioxide supply chain from Japan and potential development of production facilities in Japan for conversion of eMethanol from HIF’s plants to eGasoline or jet fuel.
“We are already producing eFuels from our first plant at Haru Oni in Chile and are poised to start construction next year at our first world-scale facility at Matagorda in Texas,” Cesar Norton, HIF Global CEO, said in the release. “Our portfolio of projects in development continues to expand, giving us confidence that HIF facilities in South America, USA and Australia will all contribute to meeting this vast demand.”
HIF Global recently announced its expansion to Uruguay, where it will commence development of an approximately $4bn eFuels project in the city of Paysandú. The Matagorda eFuels Facility will be the first world scale eFuels facility. HIF and Siemens Energy are engaged in front end engineering
