Bechtel will perform front-end engineering and design of what it says is a $6-billion carbon-neutral fuel plant near Bay City, Texas—the first of 12 such manufacturing facilities planned by the Houston-based unit of e-fuels developer HIF Global that will combine captured carbon dioxide with green hydrogen to produce cleaner gasoline and jet fuel.
Bechtel will integrate technologies from Siemens Energy and Danish energy technology company Topsoe to produce 200 million gallons of the cleaner fuel each year at the planned 540-acre facility.
