Porsche Strives To Make ‘e-fuel’ Carbon-Neutral Or Directly – A Kind Of Gasoline Without Petroleum
Porsche has no plans to make an electric version of its iconic sports cars, but instead aims to develop a new gasoline without the need for petroleum.

Porsche’s answer: Carbon-Neutral “Synthetic” Gasoline, meaning without petroleum in its composition, which could fuel gas engines in any car, not just Porsches.
Through a new pilot project that the German high-performance car manufacturer announced on Wednesday, windmills in Chile would provide electricity to transform water into hydrogen and oxygen fuel. As part of the same process, carbon dioxide would be filtered from the air. Hydrogen and carbon dioxide would be combined to form methane, to be reformulated as a substitute for petroleum-based gasoline. Since the carbon dioxide was already in the air, the resultant emissions from the exhaust pipe would not add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

Porsche Aims For Great Future Goals With Its New Gasoline
Porsche’s goal with its new petroleum-free gasoline is to “show what is technically possible,” said Michael Steiner, head of research and development at Porsche, so that the so-called e-gas can be sampled by drivers and evaluated by regulators as governments crack down on greenhouse gas emissions to tackle climate change. The location in Chile was chosen because it offers quite stable and reliable wind.
The underlying technologies for Porsche’s project have already been proven and well understood. Water has been transformed into hydrogen and oxygen for decades through the process of electrolysis. Engineers have decades of experience in turning methane into gasoline-like fuel as well. The increased capacity of solar and wind energy makes a carbon-neutral process possible.
