HIF World and Siemens Power reached an settlement which might enable Siemens Power to develop its electrolyzer manufacturing capability past its beforehand introduced plans.
This settlement will help HIF World in acquiring adequate capability for the HIF Matagorda eFuels Facility. The electrolyzers will combination an anticipated capability of roughly 1.8 gigawatts (GW) to assist roughly 300,000 tonnes per 12 months of inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing.
Cesar Norton, CEO of HIF World, stated, “We face a time of unbelievable enlargement in hydrogen manufacturing amid world provide chain challenges. The settlement with Siemens Power permits for electrolyzer deliveries which may assist the beginning of development as early as the primary a part of 2024 for the HIF Matagorda eFuels Facility. We sit up for beginning development on the pioneering Texas inexperienced hydrogen and eFuels facility, with Siemens Power’s business main electrolyzer design and manufacturing power.”

Stefano Innocenzi, SVP, Sustainable Power Programs of Siemens Power stated, “Hydrogen and power- to-X functions similar to eFuels will play a key function within the vitality transition. To ramp up this new business, we’d like many initiatives, together with large-scale ones, and traders and off-takers who’re prepared to make a promise for the long run. These agreements give us planning certainty, creating the premise for ramping up the expertise and the business as an entire.”
The HIF Matagorda eFuels Facility would be the first world scale eFuels facility, situated in Matagorda County, Texas. HIF and Siemens Power are engaged in entrance finish engineering and design for 1.8 GW of Silyzer 300 polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzers that may use renewable vitality to separate hydrogen from water, leading to roughly 300,000 tonnes of hydrogen per 12 months.
The inexperienced hydrogen will probably be utilized along with recycled carbon dioxide to supply carbon-neutral eFuels, that are chemically equal to fuels used as we speak and might subsequently be dropped-in to present engines with none modifications required. The inexperienced hydrogen and eFuels produced by the HIF Matagorda eFuels Facility will have the ability to convert roughly half one million vehicles to carbon impartial as early as 2027.
