HIF Odisha e-Methanol

HIF Global India has offered to invest approximately USD 1 billion in a proposed e-fuel production project in the state of Odisha, India. The initiative aims to develop a large-scale power-to-liquid facility that would produce renewable synthetic fuels, potentially including e-methanol and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), by combining green hydrogen (produced from renewable electricity) with captured and recycled carbon dioxide. The proposed plant is intended to support India’s decarbonization goals by supplying low-carbon fuels for transport and industrial sectors, leveraging Odisha’s growing renewable energy capacity and industrial infrastructure. HIF Global India’s offer reflects interest from international investors in building e-fuel value chains in India, but as of the latest reporting the project remains in an investment proposal and development planning stage, with details on specific capacity, technology providers, and timelines still under discussion.
