The e-gas fuel will be produced in the power-to-gas plant in Werlte, Germany. Key modifications relate to the cylinder head, turbocharging, injection system, and the catalytic converter. The five-door car consumes on average less than 3.5 kilograms per 100 km of compressed natural gas (CNG) or Audi e-gas.

A team from Bauhaus Luftfahrt in Germany has analyzed the climate impact and economic performance of solar thermochemical jet fuel production. The syngas is stored and finally converted into jet fuel via the FT process. Solar syngas is then converted into liquid hydrocarbon fuels by the Fischer−Tropsch process. Click to enlarge.

They are highly automated production islands that directly convert wind energy to hydrogen, with a few of them processing the gas into fuels and other goods. And Germany isn’t the only country investing in hydrogen technologies. In the fight against climate change, many countries have pledged to reduce their CO2 emissions to net zero.

In California, 20% of our electricity comes from zero CO2 renewables (sun, wind, geothermal), another 20% from zero CO2 hydro, and only 20.1% FCVs are the way of the future!

Caroline Reichert, an RWE spokeswoman, noted that the idea here is to ensure that "a car can be recharged in Italy in exactly the same way as in Denmark, Germany or France." Nuclear waste is a problem much harder to solve than CO2, and dams have quite an impact in the environment. You can put up to 3 URLs in your comments.
