HIF Global has partnered with Johnson Matthey (JM) for the establishment of the largest e-methanol plant in South America in Paysandú, Uruguay. The initiative aims to utilize electrolytic (green) hydrogen and waste CO2 from an ethanol facility to produce e-methanol, offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional methanol production and aiding in the reduction of carbon emissions. JM's eMERALD technology, known for its decarbonization capabilities, will be leveraged at the Paysandú eFuels project with an annual production capacity of 700,000 tonnes. This e-methanol will cater to the rising demand in the marine sector and will be used as a feedstock for generating e-gasoline through a methanol-to-gasoline process, contributing to the decarbonization of over 150,000 vehicles. The successful demonstration of JM's technology at the HIF Haru Oni eFuels facility has paved the way for this partnership, with plans for additional eFuels projects in the US, Tasmania, and Chile underway. The $4 billion investment in Uruguay signifies a significant milestone, with construction scheduled to commence in 2025 and the creation of numerous job opportunities. Both JM and HIF are optimistic about the prospects of this collaboration, highlighting the importance of sustainable fuel production for global transportation decarbonization.
