HIF eyes Tasmania synfuels facility
Firm wants to build a 250MW electrolyser to produce synthetic fuels for road transport sector
Synthetic fuels firm HIF Global has begun the application process for approval to build plant in Tasmania, Australia that would produce hydrogen-based synthetic fuels for road transport applications. Hydrogen-based synthetic fuels are carbon-neutral fuels produced from renewable energy, green hydrogen and CO₂. The fuels can be used as direct substitutes in existing fossil fuel infrastructure and engines. HIF plans to produce 8bn litres/yr of these fuels by 2030, with a third made in Australia. “Today, we begin the first step in Tasmania to produce hydrogen from renewable energy, capture carbon dioxide from a biogenic source and produce highly competitive e-fuels that will be the carbon-neutr
