Ridgewood NJ, Highly Innovative Fuels, a Chilean startup, has opened its first synthetic gasoline production facility. The site will initially produce around 34,000 gallons a year. It plans to scale up to 14.5 million gallons a year by 2024 and 145 million gallons a year by 2026. The site uses wind power to electrolyze water into hydrogen and oxygen.
