HIF Global is developing large-scale projects to recycle CO₂ and produce hydrogen-based fuels for existing cars, ships, and planes. The company currently operates the HIF Haru Oni e-Fuels facility in Chile and is advancing additional projects in the United States, Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, and Australia.
The project in Texas will be one of the world’s largest deployments of American-made electrolyzers, establishing a new benchmark for e-Methanol production at industrial scale, and driving U.S. energy leadership and economic development deep in the heart of Texas, according to Meg Gentle, Executive Director of HIF Global. She said: “HIF’s selection of Electric Hydrogen electrolyzers was made possible by the committed leadership of key senators establishing U.S. dominance in advanced energy markets.”
Electric Hydrogen’s electrolyzers are engineered and manufactured in the United States. The electrochemical stacks are produced at the company’s gigafactory in Devens, Massachusetts, while the remaining equipment is built in Texas.
Renato Pereira, CEO of HIF USA, commented: “HIF is building the future of American energy – one that relies on U.S. technology, U.S. manufacturing, and U.S. workers. Electric Hydrogen brings American innovation and industrial-scale performance to our HIF Matagorda e-Fuels facility. Together, we’re showing that advanced fuels produced here in Texas are the most competitive worldwide, propelling the U.S. to the leadership position in low emission energy production.”
Raffi Garabedian, CEO of Electric Hydrogen, added: “Electric Hydrogen is proud to partner with HIF to deploy our advanced electrolyzer systems at unprecedented scale. This is a defining moment for American leadership in breakthrough energy technology, a sector currently dominated by Chinese exports. It proves that U.S.-built solutions can meet the toughest performance and cost targets – at the scale needed to reindustrialize our country and lead global trade in new energies.”
