Audi unveils e-gas project: synthetic methane from the methanation of green hydrogen; series production of CNG models in 2013 powered by e-gas

Green Car Congress

This source of energy, generated in a climate-friendly manner, can be used to power fuel-cell vehicles in the medium-term. Although this methane is also known as synthetic natural gas, the company refers to it as Audi e-gas. If necessary, this energy can flow from the gas network back to the power grid at any time.

DOE to award $49.4M for advanced vehicle technologies research; meeting Tier 3 emissions

Green Car Congress

For the purposes of this AOI, a carbon fiber composite is defined as a composite that combines carbon fiber with polymer resin. The fibers can be continuous or discontinuous and the resin can be either a thermoplastic or thermoset polymer. This will allow for longer range or less range loss under certain environmental conditions.
