In Chilean Patagonia, a team with members from different companies – owner HIF, co-founders Porsche and Enel, ExxonMobil, Enap, and others – came together to tackle something that’s never been done before. Electricians, mechanical engineers, project managers and many more explorers with a “can-do” mindset are working at the very outer reaches of what’s known to explore uncharted territories in an effort to drive the energy transition. The Haru Oni hydrogen plant is their joint flagship project.
Experts for each technology step are needed, from wind power, electrolysis, methanol synthesis, to groundworks and construction of buildings. What unites this diverse team from various countries is their enthusiasm for a clean energy world via eFuel – and their hunger to move to the next step: the large-scale plant.
