Tourists in southern Chile to travel in Zodiac boats with sustainable e-Gasoline on their Antarctic trips
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.
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.
Victor Turpaud, CEO of HIF Latam said, “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.”
Antarctica21's President, Jaime Vasquez, stated: “We are delighted to be at the forefront of the quest for alternative energy solutions. The strategic partnership between Antarctica21 and HIF aligns with our ongoing sustainability initiatives, which encompass energy-efficient practices and a comprehensive carbon offsetting and certification program. By integrating e-Fuel into our operations, we are paving the way toward a more sustainable future for Antarctic tourism, while helping drive innovation in marine fuel alternatives.”
The HIF Haru Oni facility, inaugurated in December 2022, produces e-Fuels from green hydrogen and recycled CO2, harnessing wind energy from Magellanic winds. These fuels are sustainable and can be used in any transportation without the need to modify engines or current infrastructure.
