HIF Global, Porsche and Volkswagen Group unveil new direct air capture unit to be installed at eFuels plant in Chile in 2024

Green Car Congress

We have proven carbon-neutral eFuels are a real solution to help decarbonize transportation. The Haru Oni facility is currently operating with biogenic CO 2 and hydrogen produced with the strong winds of the Magallanes region. Synthetic fuels enable potentially almost carbon-neutral operation of ICE vehicles. Earlier post.)
