Porsche Begins Production Of E-Fuels In Chile Hrrm ...
that it has begun producing synthetic e-fuels in cooperation with Chile’s Highly Innovative Fuels at a facility near Punta Arenas in the south of Chile near the Strait of Magellan. From the port of Cabo Negro, the synthetic e-fuel can be transported just like traditional fuels all over the world and be distributed using the existing infrastructure.
“Porsche is committed to a double-e path: e-mobility and e-fuels as a complementary technology. Using e-fuels reduces CO2 emissions. Looking at the entire traffic sector, the industrial production of synthetic fuels should keep being pushed forward worldwide. With this e-fuels pilot plant, Porsche is playing a leading role in this development,” said Barbara Frenkel, who is in charge of procurement at Porsche.
In the pilot phase, e-fuel production of around 130,000 liters per year is planned. Initially the fuel is to be used in lighthouse projects such as the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup and at Porsche Experience Centers. After the pilot phase, the first scaling will take the project in Chile up to a projected 55 million liters per year by the middle of the decade. Around two years later the capacity is expected to be 550 million liters .
“T&E’s Total Cost of Ownership analysis shows that the very high costs of operating a conventional vehicle running on e-fuels would place a cost burden on the average European driver. For both new and second hand cars in 2030, the TCO premium for running a car on e-petrol compared to a BEV is €10,000, or 43% more expensive for an average driver.
