TL;DR Summary

HIF Global is planning to build a $6 billion plant in Texas that will produce 200 million gallons of greener fuels a year, equivalent to taking the emissions of 400,000 cars off the road. The plant will use wind power to run electrolyzer machines, which separate the hydrogen out of water. The hydrogen is then joined with recycled carbon dioxide, in reactions that generate synthetic hydrocarbons — indistinguishable from fossil-derived gasoline. Porsche AG and Baker Hughes are among the investors in the project. The company is also working on a plant in Tasmania and plans to build more plants in Patagonia as it builds out wind turbines.
