HIF Global and Antarctica21 promote sustainable tourism with e-Fuels

Tourists in southern Chile to travel in Zodiac boats with sustainable e-Gasoline on their Antarctic trips.

HIF Global, the world’s leading e-Fuels company, and Antarctica21, the pioneer of Antarctic air-cruise, announced a collaboration to promote sustainable tourism in the Magallanes Region and Antarctica by using e-Fuels for marine transport and aviation.

Ten Zodiac boats that transport tourists from the “Magellan Explorer” cruise ship in Antarctica will utilize e-Gasoline produced at the HIF Haru Oni e-Fuels facility in Punta Arenas, Chile this year. Antarctica21 is also evaluating Synthetic Marine Diesel (e-MGO) to power the cruise ship’s main engines and synthetic jet fuel (e-SAF) for its air operations.

“HIF Global’s collaboration with Antarctica21 is one example of our commitment to sustainability for Magallanes and our planet. e-Fuels are making a difference today for regional tourism, adding a green badge to the epic trips to the White Continent,” Victor Turpaud, CEO of HIF Latam.

The HIF Global – Antarctica21 collaboration provides for the first use of sustainable gasoline in Antarctic tourism and forms an alliance to evaluate e-Fuels for this industry. The agreement was executed in a ceremony at Muelle Prat, Punta Arenas in the presence of various authorities and representatives of both companies.
