HIF Global Matagorda eFuels Facility — Texas
Overview
TYPE3’s map data identifies HIF Global Matagorda eFuels Facility as a hydrogen industrial project in Matagorda County, with Construction status and a 200 MW rough power estimate. HIF’s current project page reports approximately 1.4 million tons per year of e-methanol, 2 million tons per year of recycled CO2, and 1.8 GW of electrolyzer capacity. It also states that the project is fully permitted to begin construction, FEED is complete, and the power interconnect is secured.
TCEQ’s wastewater application identifies HIF USA LLC’s green eFuels plant southwest of Bay City and describes electrolysis, methanol synthesis, water treatment, and wastewater processes. These are production, equipment, permitting, and interconnection layers. A 1.8 GW electrolyzer nameplate is not automatically coincident site demand, and a secured interconnect is not proof of current delivery or operating load.
Use the page as a permitted construction project, not an operating hydrogen plant. Request current construction milestone, final investment decision, delivered power, demand profile, backup generation, commissioning date, and operating status.
The TCEQ application is valuable because it describes the actual industrial processes and water inputs, but it is a wastewater authorization rather than an electrical study. The HIF project page is the source for current sponsor-reported milestones. Keep those source roles distinct when the page is later reviewed for regulated claims or commercial energy analysis.
Questions
What is HIF Matagorda?
It is HIF Global’s planned large-scale eFuels facility southwest of Bay City. It would use electrolysis and recycled CO2 to produce e-methanol.
How much power will it use?
TYPE3’s 200 MW is unconfirmed. HIF’s 1.8 GW electrolyzer capacity is equipment scale, not verified coincident site demand.
Is HIF Matagorda operating?
No. HIF describes a permitted project with FEED completed and a secured interconnect; those milestones do not establish commissioning.

This state sits outside ERCOT and outside the survey. Sponsoring one funds the work of charting it — pulling its interconnection queue, large loads, and price data onto the map.
