Argentine court orders environmental studies over HIF plant in Uruguay
A federal court in Argentina has ordered new environmental studies for a green hydrogen plant in Paysandú, Uruguay, amid cross‑border legal pressure and environmental concerns.
A federal court in Concepción del Uruguay, Argentina, has ordered a series of environmental studies and requested information from Uruguayan agencies regarding the planned green hydrogen plant by HIF Global in Paysandú. The decision follows a lawsuit filed by local environmental groups and residents alarmed by possible impacts on water quality, air pollution, and regional ecosystems. The case has reignited bilateral tensions reminiscent of the earlier Botnia pulp mill conflict, with Argentine authorities stressing precautionary measures and transparency in cross‑border projects.
