The Audi e-gas plant in the city of Werlte in Lower Saxony ( earlier post ) produces CO 2 neutral-fuel (synthetic methane from water, renewable electricity and CO 2 ); it now also contributes toward stabilizing the public power grid. Both models can be driven climate-neutrally with Audi e‑gas—i.e.,

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. The technology to produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water has been around for more than 200 years. Why all the hype about hydrogen?

In Germany, the car, even before market launch, was picked as the overall winner in the VCD Environment List ( VCD Auto-Umweltliste ) and was also awarded the ACVmobile environmental prize (ACVmobil Umweltpreis). The engine’s dual-circuit cooling system and integrated water-cooled exhaust manifold enable short engine warm-up times.

Walter Leitner at the RWTH Aachen University, Germany, has developed a new concept that can be used to produce pure formic acid from CO 2 in a continuous process using catalytic hydrogenation. The RWTH Aachen team pursued a new approach to obtain methanol by the hydrogenation of CO2 with elemental hydrogen in an homogeneous process—i.e.,

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. Saving lives through nuclear power. :p
