Synthetic fuel: who can produce it?  News from Auto Plus in your smartphone News from Auto Plus in your mailbox

To have cleaner mobility, we have several possibilities. On the one hand, we have electric cars, but with a price too high

Alternatives available, as in the case of synthetic fuel. This technology has caused a lot of talk recentlyin particular, during the decision of the European Commission to ban the sale of new diesel locomotives until 2035.

What is synthetic fuel?

To reduce sharply CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, some builders decided to start synthetic fuel.

It is about manufactured essence with renewable energy sources. These types of fuel are also called eFuels.

Unfortunately, at the moment there are still some obstacles which make it difficult to enter the market Public.

This is the case very high cost production, complexity production or rarity infrastructure production

Who can do it?

The result is synthetic fuel process electrolysis It consists share water and its constituents, viz oxygen and hydrogen.

This is hydrogen mixes with CO2 to form methanol, hence gasoline. But to make this fuel is needed infrastructure can be used this technology.

Unfortunately, there are very few of them in the world. Some builders invest, that’s right German brands like a Porsche.

Factory there is even production of synthetic fuel in preparation for on the side of Chile, in South America.

Technology to be developed

It’s a safe bet synthetic fuel will never be available to individuals. Indeed, electricity is already there good lead in this area, and it seems that eFuel only for certain cases.

Indeed, it could be available only for collectible vehicles or high-end models, or even companies or associations.

synthetic fuel can become a real alternative. The authorities still have to want to develop this sector and this technology.
