HIF Global is making significant strides in green hydrogen development through its US$6bn Paysandú project in Uruguay. The project aims to produce sustainable fuels from renewable energy sources and captured carbon dioxide. An agreement with Alur, a biofuels producer, ensures a supply of the CO2 needed for the plant's operations. The project aligns with Uruguay's green hydrogen roadmap, which envisions achieving 1Mt/y of domestic production by 2040. The HIF plant in Paysandú is set to produce 700,000t/y of e-methanol, requiring substantial clean energy and CO2 inputs. This initiative is part of Uruguay's broader efforts to leverage renewable energy sources such as wind, hydro, biomass, and solar power. HIF's project is one of several in Uruguay's green hydrogen sector, including ventures focused on e-methanol, hydrogen for local transport, and green fuel production. The country's roadmap includes the installation of 18GW of renewables capacity and 9GW of electrolyzers to support green hydrogen production. Regulatory efforts are underway to facilitate development, with tax benefits being considered. Challenges remain in driving down production costs and securing offtakers, as well as addressing infrastructure and certification requirements. HIF's presence extends beyond Uruguay, with operational and planned projects in Chile and Brazil. The company has a small-scale plant in Chile and is exploring opportunities in Brazil for e-methanol production. The regional focus includes initiatives in wind power generation for hydrogen production and the development of electrolysis options. The positive sentiment towards green hydrogen in Uruguay and Latin America is reflected in the growth of e-fuels projects and the commitment of key players in the energy sector to sustainable practices.
