The certification, issued by ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification), an independent organisation based in Germany and validated by the European Commission, covers the entire supply chain of the Haru Oni facility. This includes CO₂ capture, hydrogen production, and the synthesis of e-Methanol, e-Gasoline, and e-LG. To qualify, RFNBO fuels must use hydrogen produced exclusively with renewable energy and achieve at least a 70% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Diego Fettweis, Chief Commercial Officer at HIF Global, said: “HIF’s Haru Oni e-Fuels facility has achieved an important global milestone, becoming the first facility outside the EU to be RFNBO certified, the EU’s highest standard in sustainability criteria. We look forward to producing RFNBO fuel by 2026 and continuing to lead the e-Fuels market.”
HIF Global has also renewed the ISCC PLUS certification for the Haru Oni facility, which it has maintained since 2023. Together, the certifications support the company’s expansion plans, laying the foundation for a global portfolio of commercial e-Fuels facilities modelled on Haru Oni.
