Porsche, Siemens Energy and partners advance climate-neutral eFuels development; Haru Oni pilot in Chile

Green Car Congress

The result is renewable methanol, which can be converted into climate-friendly fuel using an MTG (Methanol To Gasoline) technology to be licensed and supported by ExxonMobil. Part of the e-Methanol will be converted to e-Gasoline (130,000 liters per year). Porsche will be the primary customer for the green fuel.
