Its role Owner
HIF Global develops and operates commercial-scale facilities for the production of e-fuels, which are synthetic, carbon-neutral hydrocarbon fuels made from green hydrogen and recycled carbon dioxide.
Using renewable electricity to produce hydrogen via electrolysis and combining it with captured CO2, the company manufactures e-methanol for maritime use, e-gasoline for road transport, and is advancing e-SAF for aviation. These fuels serve as drop-in replacements compatible with existing engines, pipelines, and infrastructure, facilitating immediate decarbonization in hard-to-electrify sectors.
Incorporated as HIF Global LLC in the United States with headquarters in Houston, Texas, the company maintains a global footprint through wholly-owned subsidiaries such as HIF USA, HIF Chile, HIF Uruguay, and HIF Asia Pacific. Its flagship operational site is the Haru Oni demonstration plant in Chile's Magallanes region, while major projects include the Matagorda e-Fuels facility in Bay City, Texas, focused on e-methanol production, along with developments in Uruguay, Australia, and Brazil.
Majority-owned by Chilean energy developer AME with backing from investors including Porsche AG, EIG, Baker Hughes, and Gemstone Investments, HIF Global is positioned as a pioneer in the emerging e-fuels industry, targeting significant production scale by 2035 to support global energy transition efforts.
