Porsche building first plant for carbon-neutral fuel in Chile

Ford Chile 3

The Haru Oni project is a collaborative effort by multiple enterprises in an effort to reach carbon neutrality. It utilises wind energy in order to generate nearly carbon-neutral fuel using low-cost green wind power. 

Porsche and Siemens Energy have launched a combined effort to construct an industrial plant to produce eFuel, a near carbon-neutral fuel, which Porsche plans to use as part of its plan to reach carbon net neutrality by as early as 2030.  

Porsche has begun constructing the first phase of the so-called ‘Hari Oni’ project in Punta Arenas, southern Chile and plans to use eFuel in its own combustion engine vehicles. The pilot plant is scheduled to start production in mid-2022. Along with Siemens and Porsche, participants include energy companies including HIF, Enel, ExxonMobil, Gasco and ENAP. 

The project aims to build the world’s first integrated commercial plant for producing climate-neutral fuel from wind and water, with the aim of supporting decarbonisation in the transport sector.
