The recent, December 2021 issue of MOTOR TREND reports:
The HIF, Global Thermostat, SIEMENS, ExxonMobil, ENAP/ Empresas Gasco' Haru Oni synthetic fuels plant, N. Punta Arenas, Chile, goes online next year.
They use a wind turbine to power the facility, which scrubs carbon-dioxide from the air, operates a reverse-fuel cell to create hydrogen to make methanol, from which gasoline is made for shipment to Porsche Motorsports.
Presently, this 'Direct air carbon capture'-derived fuel is $ 44.73 / gallon. By 2026, they believe that they'll have that down to $ 7.57 / gallon.
The gasoline has 10% of the carbon of 'normal' gasoline.
Alongside Porsche's electric fleet, this fuel will allow piston-powered Porsches, which remain on the roads, to lower their carbon footprint.
