Ian TaylorHIF Global has announced that its e-fuel production has been granted Tier II Design Pathway Certification under the California Air Resource Board’s (CARB) Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) programme.
In a statement issued on Tuesday (11 March), HIF said that this marked ‘the first U.S. approval for an e-fuels pathway’.
Meg Gentle, Executive Director of the HIF Global Board, stated: ‘e-fuels are synthetic hydrocarbons that seamlessly integrate with today’s existing infrastructure and engines. This LCFS certification underscores the growing demand for e-fuels in the U.S. and globally, which could reach more than 250 mtpa by 2035, providing opportunity for over $1 trillion in potential capital investment in new facilities to produce the fuels, including HIF Global’s 1.4 mtpa e-fuels project in Matagorda County, Texas.’
HIF Global’s range of fuels include e-methanol for the maritime sector.
