HIF Global selects Electric Hydrogen’s advanced American electrolyzer technology for Texas eFuels project

HIF Global announced Sept. 16 that it has selected Electric Hydrogen (EH2) to supply its cutting-edge electrolyzer systems for HIF’s Texas eFuels facility.

“The project will be one of the world’s largest deployments of American-made electrolyzers, establishing a new benchmark for eMethanol production at industrial scale, and driving U.S. energy leadership and economic development deep in the heart of Texas,” said Meg Gentle, the executive director of HIF Global. “HIF’s selection of Electric Hydrogen electrolyzers was made possible by the committed leadership of key senators establishing U.S. dominance in advanced energy markets.”

Electric Hydrogen’s high-power electrolyzers, engineered and manufactured in the United States, are pioneering the next generation of low-cost, high-performance hydrogen production and leveraging modularization to dramatically reduce costs and construction timelines, according to HIF Global.

The electrochemical stacks—the heart of the system—are built in the company’s Devens, Massachusetts, gigafactory while the remainder of the equipment is built in Texas, reinforcing the strategic importance of U.S.-based manufacturing in the global energy-supply chain.

“HIF is building the future of American energy—one that relies on U.S. technology, U.S. manufacturing and U.S. workers,” said Renato Pereira, CEO of HIF USA. “Electric Hydrogen brings American innovation and industrial-scale performance to our HIF Matagorda eFuels facility. Together, we’re showing that advanced fuels produced here in Texas are the most competitive worldwide, propelling the U.S. to the leadership position in low-emission energy production.”

Raffi Garabedian, CEO of Electric Hydrogen, added, “Electric Hydrogen is proud to partner with HIF to deploy our advanced electrolyzer systems at unprecedented scale. This is a defining moment for American leadership in breakthrough energy technology, a sector currently dominated by Chinese exports. It proves that U.S.-built solutions can meet the toughest performance and cost targets—at the scale needed to reindustrialize our country and lead global trade in new energies.”

HIF is producing eFuels today at its HIF Haru Oni eFuels facility in Chile and is developing commercial-scale eFuels facilities in United States, Uruguay, Chile, Brazil and Australia.
