In The Far South Of South America, North Of Punta Arenas, Chile, The Haru Oni Plant Has Recently Been Inaugurated And Plans To Produce Future Fuel, The Green Hydrogen, Capable Of Removing Enough Carbon Dioxide From The Atmosphere To Produce Almost 200,000 Gallons Of Methanol This Year.
Part Of This Will Be Later Converted Into Approximately 34,000 Gallons Of Green Gasoline – All Of Which Will Be Sent To Porsche For Use In Motorsport With Future Fuel.
How Will Future Fuel Be Produced?
In The Magallanes Region Of Chile, The Powerful Williwaw Winds Have Fueled An Extremely Low-Pressure System Where The Atlantic And Pacific Oceans Meet.
The Available Wind Power Is Approximately Four Times Greater Than Anywhere In Continental Europe, Which Is One Of The Reasons Why The Plant Is Located In Chile And Not In Europe.

While electric cars die in four hours, the British Hydromax aims to be the fastest hydrogen car in the world with 1,600 hp and a target of 563 km/h.

Chinese SUV with three engines, 1,380 hp, and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.96 seconds debuts with ultra-fast charging and promises up to 1,416 km of total range for long trips in high modern luxury.
The Project Is A Joint Effort Between HIF (Highly Innovative Fuels), Siemens Energy, ExxonMobil, And The Chilean Oil And Gas Companies ENAP And Empresas Gasco. Once Fully Operational In 2026, The Plant Will Be Able To Produce 1 Million Tons Of Green Methanol Per Year, Some Of Which Will Be Converted Into 145 Million Gallons Of Gasoline.
In Its First Year, A Siemens Gamesa 3.4 MW Wind Turbine Will Power A Siemens Silyzer 200 Proton Exchange Membrane, Producing Green Hydrogen From Water Through Electrolysis With 65% Efficiency.
Commercialization Will Increase Wind Power Generation To 2.5 GW (With A Corresponding Expansion Of Electrolysis), With Additional Efficiency Gains Expected Over The Next Five Years. The Global Thermostat System Extracts CO2 From The Air Using An Amine-Based Sorbent Coating On A Porous Ceramic Honeycomb Substrate. The CO2 Is Periodically “Washed” By Low-Temperature Steam To Produce 98% Pure CO2.
The Hydrogen And The Carbon Dioxide Pass Through A Johnson Matthey Copper-Zinc Catalyst To Form Green Methanol. Finally, The Methanol Is Vaporized, Superheated, And Sent To A Fluidized Bed Reactor, Where ExxonMobil Catalysts Help Convert It Into Gasoline, With Water As A Byproduct Of Future Fuel.
The Additives And Mixtures Needed To Ensure That The eFuel Can Serve As A “Drop-In” Substitute For Petroleum-Based Gasoline Reduce Its Carbon Intensity Number To About 10, Instead Of Zero. This Still Means That Combustion Produces 90% Less Net Carbon Than Regular Gasoline, But With The Same Performance Characteristics.
As Further Commitment To This Carbon-Neutral Fuel, Porsche Invested US$ 75 Million In HIF Global, Acquiring A 12.5% Stake In The Chilean Company For Future Fuel.
Porsche’s Investment Is Accompanied By Other Contributions From Financial Institutions And Companies Such As EIG, Baker Hughes, Gem Investments, And The Main Shareholder Andes Mining And Energy (AME). These Investments Will Not Only Be Used To Produce eFuels In Chile But Also To Build Additional Facilities In The U.S. And Australia.
