.Porsche fires up production of eFuel, made form water in Chile:
Nearly carbon-free driving with an internal-combustion engine is possible but takes work. Porsche has been investigating synthetic eFuels for many years and turned on a new plant in Chile today to start making fuel from water and carbon dioxide.
The first batches of eFuel will be used for promotional "lighthouse projects," but Porsche hopes to be selling 145 million gallons of this new eFuel on the open market each year before the end of the decade. Those gallons will one day be sold on the open market, Porsche representatives said during a briefing for journalists today, but the initial test batch of a modest 34,000 annual gallons is destined more for promotional purposes. The eFuel will first be shipped from Chile to what the automaker calls its "lighthouse projects," like the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
"If there is not enough renewable energy available [to make eFuels], it makes much more sense that you use this energy directly in electric cars," Frenkel said. "Our strategy [is to] push fully on electromobility, and we have eFuels in addition. Therefore, especially when it comes to Europe, it's of essential importance that the government increases the ambition to establish a good charging infrastructure based on renewable energy.
