Joule’s Helioculture platform uses engineered microorganisms directly and continuously to convert sunlight and waste CO 2 into infrastructure-ready fuels, including ethanol and hydrocarbons (n-alkanes) that serve as the essential chemical building blocks for diesel. Audi is testing different blends of the e-fuels as well as 100% fuel.

The Audi e-gas plant, which can convert 6MW of input power, utilizes renewable electricity for electrolysis to produce oxygen and hydrogen. Because there is not yet a widespread hydrogen infrastructure, the hydrogen is reacted with CO 2 in a methanation unit to generate renewable synthetic methane, or Audi e-gas. Earlier post.).

Energy-system models that marry engineering, physics, economics, and policy constraints and concerns allow us to test assumptions, explore actions, and build intuitions about how those systems work. The best we can do is to build tools that allow us to explore possible futures.” There’s just so much that is contingent and unknowable.

We now have a sprinkling of promising companies working to get funded to convert gas-guzzlers. When our country was attacked at Pearl Harbor, no one believed we could build 30,000 planes and tanks in just one year. It helps that the auto industry will be building more efficient new vehicles. And no one asked what it would cost.

It also appears that auto dealers may be able to convert the credit into a cash-on-the-hood discount for their customers. The IRA also extends existing renewable energy tax credits for utilities, which could make EV charging cleaner and cheaper. There’s also a wide array of measures aimed at supporting renewable energy generation.
