Description
Description | The Government of Uruguay is reconsidering the location of a large green hydrogen megaproject by HIF Global initially planned near Constancia in Paysandú, Uruguay. The project involves a 1 GW electrolytic plant, CO2 capture from ALUR's ethanol operations, and e-fuels synthesis, targeting 150-180 kt of e-fuels annually for export. The reconsideration follows protests from Argentine communities concerned about environmental and visual impacts along the Uruguay River. Uruguay is exploring relocating the project to industrial zones within Paysandú to address these concerns while maintaining the project's economic and environmental goals. |
