More specifically, the planned PtL plant is to be located at the ARAUCO industrial complex in Biobío. The concept combines biogenic CO₂ from ARAUCO’s processes with locally produced green hydrogen, which Abastible is expected to develop. Copec contributes expertise in fuel logistics and downstream applications — exactly the kind of combination that turns “technology and know-how” into a real, usable supply chain.

The key point: INERATEC has already delivered a basic engineering study and is positioning itself as the technology provider for the highly efficient PtL chain (syngas production + fuel synthesis). The project builds on groundwork from the Energy Challenge 2023 and further assessments in the H2Uppp context. This is a clear step toward industrialization rather than a pilot showcase, which is particularly important for e-fuels as a move “toward real-world viability.”
