Drawn from HIF’s expanding production portfolio, this agreement strengthens the available supply of clean, sustainable fuels for clients
HIF Global has partnered with German eFuel One GmbH through a Heads of Agreement (HoA) for long-term e-Methanol supply, sourcing from HIF’s upcoming Paysandú project in Uruguay. This agreement secures early access to renewable fuel for the German market as global demand for e-Methanol scales. The deal, highlighting a key collaboration between the leading e-fuels producer and a German clean energy pioneer, focuses on supplying industrial-scale volumes to support decarbonization.
This agreement sets the framework for HIF to supply German eFuel One with ~100,000 tons of e-Methanol per year, supporting the transition to sustainable mobility. The HoA establishes the main commercial terms for negotiating a definitive offtake agreement.
The e-Methanol supplied under this arrangement will meet the rigorous specifications of the International Methanol Producers and Consumers Association (IMPCA) and will be certified under EU RED III RFNBO standards.
Diego Fettweis, Chief Commercial Officer of HIF Global, said, “This agreement marks a significant step in expanding the reach of sustainable fuels. By working with German eFuel One, we are advancing the decarbonization of global transport and industry, leveraging our proven experience operating and exporting e-Fuels for over three years from HIF Haru Oni in southern Chile, as well as our global portfolio of projects, to deliver reliable, certified e-Methanol to the market.”
This agreement builds on HIF Global’s ongoing efforts to expand its presence in the European market. It follows the Heads of Agreement for e-Fuel offtake announced in 2025 with MB Energy (Mabanaft), another leading German energy company.
Christian Hanke, CEO of German eFuel One GmbH, added: “We are establishing the foundation for reliable, industrial scale production of e-Fuels, an essential building block for the urgently needed, technology open path to climate neutrality in the transport sector. For the Port of Hamburg, as import hub for Europe, the reliable import of green molecules is of critical importance. It not only strengthens regional industries but also supports the German Federal Government in ensuring the energy security needed to accelerate defossilization in Germany. Together with HIF Global, we are demonstrating that sustainable mobility is not a vision of the future but begins today.”
The future offtake agreement between HIF Global and German eFuel One will establish a long-term framework for the annual supply of certified e Methanol, which will be available following contract execution and the scale up of international e-Fuels production capacities.
