Johnson Matthey (JM), a global leader in sustainable technologies, has been selected by HIF Global, the world’s leading eFuels company, as the methanol licensor for HIF Global’s Paysandú eFuels project in Uruguay. The facility will be the largest e-methanol plant in Latin America and will use electrolytic (green) hydrogen and waste CO2 from an ethanol plant to produce e-methanol, which enables the production of a lower carbon fuel versus traditional methanol. The e-methanol will be utilized to support the growing demand from the marine market and as a feedstock to produce e-gasoline, facilitating the decarbonization of over 150,000 vehicles. The collaboration builds on the successful demonstration of the technology in HIF Haru Oni eFuels facility, where JM licenses its technology and supplies the catalyst. HIF Global will invest in the facility, making it the most significant investment in Uruguayan history. Construction is planned for 2025 and is expected to create approximately 1,500 jobs during construction and 300 permanent operational positions.
