Porsche hopes they can slow down the extinction of ICE vehicles!

While Porsche is scrambling developing new electric models, Porsche is also investing and believes that synthetic fuels can greatly reduce CO2 output and NOx emissions. A clean alternative to batteries and EVs, eFuels can be clean enough to reduce CO2 by 85%! They are confident enough that we don't have to give up internal combustion engines and allow generations of enthusiasts' cars can stay on the road - that is still good for the environment. Porsche wants to preserve the combustion-fueled driving brand experience. They have partnered with Siemens Energy to produce synthetic methanol power from using sustainable energy - from Chilean wind farms. The non-fossil fuel sourced synthetic climate-neutral fuels are then converted into gasoline, using a refining process licensed by ExxonMobil.

However many governments and large car manufacturers are quickly legislating out and eliminating the use and production of vehicles with gasoline/diesel engines - making research and producing 'Green Fuels' to be futile.
