Porsche simulates hydrogen V8 for virtual Nordschleife run; 440 kW, 261 km/h, near-zero NOx

Green Car Congress

In a recent simulation study reported in Porsche Engineering Magazine , Porsche Engineering examined the potential of hydrogen combustion engines. Current work on hydrogen combustion engines worldwide is predominantly being done for commercial vehicles with a relatively low specific output of around 50 kW per liter of displacement.

€7M German project to develop processes and demand scenarios for the mass production of synthetic fuels; “Refineries for Future”

Green Car Congress

In spite of increasing electric mobility in the transport sector, we will continue to need liquid fuels for a long time. When talking about phasing out of combustion engines, it is referred to car engines only. According to these scenarios, gasoline will disappear from the market first, Dahmen points out.
