The Car Company Audi Has Made Diesel From Air And Water
Quartz is reporting that Audi has begun production of a synthetic diesel fuel made
from water, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen. Unlike fossil fuels, which
release additional carbon into the atmosphere, Audi’s “e-diesel,” which
is being produced at a plant in Dresden in conjunction with the German
alternative energy company Sunfire, has a net-zero carbon footprint
because it is made with carbon dioxide taken from the air.
The news report also adds: “Though the prospect of cars being powered by air and water is exciting, it remains little more than a prospect for now. The Dresden plant will produce a mere 3,000 liters (794 gallons) of the carbon-neutral fuel over the next few months—a tiny drop in a huge ocean.”
