In Texas, they are taking eFuels to the next level of commercial scale, and they are now permitted to construct the largest eFuels facility in the world, to produce approximately 200 million gallons per year of shipping fuel and eGasoline, the equivalent of decarbonising over 400,000 cars on the road today,.
The carbon-neutral shipping fuel and petrol will be produced from approximately 2 million tonnes of recycled carbon dioxide, which is to be combined with around 300,000 tonnes of green hydrogen separated from water using renewable electricity, to achieve the aforementioned annual volume of 200 million gallons or 750 million litres of shipping fuel and petrol by 2027.
Construction of the Matagorda eFuels plant will commence in 2024, which is estimated to create 4,500 direct jobs, along with more than 100 permanent operating jobs.
