The facility is the first such facility outside the EU to receive certification for Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin and the first facility worldwide to achieve this certification for the production of e-Gasoline.
The ISCC EU certification was issued by ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification), an independent organization based in Germany that has been validated by the European Commission. The certificate covers the facility's entire supply chain, from CO₂ capture to the production of hydrogen, e-Methanol, e-Gasoline, and e-LG, and confirms that the HIF Haru Oni e-Fuels facility is capable of producing RFNBO-compliant fuels, which require hydrogen produced using 100 percent renewable energy and at least a 70 percent reduction in GHG emissions.
“HIF's Haru Oni e-Fuels facility has achieved an important global milestone, becoming the first facility outside the EU to be RFNBO certified, the EU's highest standard in sustainability criteria” said Diego Fettweis, Chief Commercial Officer. “We look forward to producing RFNBO fuel by 2026 and continuing to lead the e-Fuels market.”
HIF Global also renewed the ISCC PLUS certification for the Haru Oni e-Fuels facility, which has been maintained since 2023. Both certifications support HIF's expansion in the market, paving the way for a global portfolio of commercial e-Fuels facilities modeled after HIF Haru Oni.
