A new fuel mixture based on renewable and synthetic materials could become an alternative to electric cars. This compound could reduce harmful emissions dramatically.
After a serious analysis of the innovation, TopSpeed specialists emphasize that the introduction of this synthetic fuel could give drivers another form of environmentally friendly transport.
Experts emphasize that the new compound will reduce emissions using existing technologies and cars, while electric cars are still far out of the price range of many drivers.
The synthetic fuel in question is made from water and carbon dioxide and can be produced using completely renewable energy sources. Using existing carbon dioxide resources, the fuel does not cause more greenhouse gas emissions than those that already exist.
„While electric vehicles offer significant environmental benefits, they also require significant infrastructure development and have many trade-offs “, TopSpeed said.
„In this context, the new fuel is a compelling alternative. This synthetic fuel offers a way to reduce emissions while using existing internal combustion engine technology “, experts added.
Currently, synthetic fuel can only be purchased from a limited number of retail outlets in the UK, making it difficult to obtain. However, synthetic fuel is already being introduced in some regions of Europe and, if successful, is likely to become mainstream.
Some manufacturers are already recognising this and are funding research into developing synthetic fuels. Porsche is one of the leaders in this technology and has a specialized plant in Chile that produces the appropriate compounds.
Other major brands such as Audi and BMW are also investing heavily in the development of synthetic fuels. “Unlike electric cars, which require extensive infrastructure and new technologies, electric fuel can run on existing vehicles without modifications, “ TopSpeed adds.
As experts emphasize, “this makes the innovation a practical solution to save millions of cars already on the road, including beloved classics“.
Synthetic fuels can benefit not only cars, but also gas station operators. The environmentally friendly fuel will not require the installation of a large number of new charging stations, as is the case with electric cars.
