Porsche and Siemens are involved in the first e-fuel projects with Enel and other companies
Short introduction to EFuels:
E cars are a first step, but climate change is global and e.g. (to make it very simple to understand) in Africa these are unrealistic.
So the only possible solution is -> old cars -> new fuels -> EFuels
+ these have to come to us for airplanes etc.
Argument 1
No, you can't just dump the hydrogen you need for production into the car, because
otherwise we have to replace 1 billion cars by E cars, which contradicts the intention (CO2 saving)
Argument 2
Correct is: The process is not efficient
Is not a strong argument, because there is no real alternative and it has not been invested in large quantities yet. Nevertheless: in DE the production would be hare-brained, because we would need a lot of energy, but in other countries it is actually unproblematic.
(After all, we don't produce gasoline in DE).
If we need so much energy, why not produce in countries like Peru, where the first plants are built because there is a lot of green energy.
