How much of a market share can e-fuels secure for automobiles?

How much of a market share can e-fuels secure for automobiles?
by Insider Desk
May 8, 2023

A test run by the firm Zero Petroleum in Bicester, Oxfordshire, provided an idea of an era whereby gasoline and diesel engines did not produce additional carbon dioxide for the climate.

The vehicle was powered by e-fuel, which is gasoline created by combining electricity with hydrogen and airborne carbon dioxide, reported The Guardian.

Batteries electric cars are the future, according to a strong global agreement that has evolved as the automobile industry moves gradually away from fossil fuels. To the surprise of energy experts, environmentalists, and a large portion of the auto industry, the EU opened a modest back door to e-fuels in March, shattering that consensus.

Michael Liebreich, a consultant on sustainable energy technology, told Guardian, “You’re essentially trying to unburn gasoline. To do that, you need an absurd amount of solar power.”

Finding fuel is one of the main obstacles to living the e-fuel goal. There are no large-scale production facilities for it in existence. However, some businesses have recognized a chance.

Nilay Shah, a professor of process systems engineering at Imperial College London, and Paddy Lowe, a former technical director at the Formula One teams McLaren and Mercedes and ex-chief technical officer at Williams, founded Zero Energy, which will produce e-fuels on a small scale at its Bicester test factory.

The Royal Air Force, which in 2021 conducted the world’s first flight using entirely e-fuels, served as its first client, not a car manufacturer. Experts assert that the case for technology in aviation is far stronger than it is for cars, partially because there are now few better options for aircraft.

The testing facility will only be able to produce 30 liters per day; however, Zero Petroleum is soliciting money to build a factory that can produce thousands of liters. Due to the pro-motoring research group the RAC Foundation, the UK alone used 41.7bn liters of gasoline and fuel in 2021.

Oliver Blume, the CEO of Porsche and the head of the Volkswagen Group, the biggest automaker in Europe, said in March that e-fuels would be a “useful addition” that would allow the business to keep selling vehicles like the gasoline-guzzling 911 for a longer period.

In Chile (which has plenty of renewable energy due to its high winds and consistent sunshine), Porsche has opened a trial e-fuel facility.

A portion of the automobile sector and its political backers are holding onto the dream that e-fuels will delay the demise of combustion engines and the enormous expenses associated with displacing millions of people from the industry.

Following car industry lobbying, Germany’s conservative Free Democrats party, a partner in the government, successfully fought for a last-minute provision that would require the EU to develop technical guidelines for e-fuels after the phaseout of fossil fuel vehicles in 2035.
