Adding to its success stories, Audi and a greentech company called Sunfire have developed a new type of fuel that could further revolutionize the green movement, essentially birthing an invention that seems to be a product of the Audi e-tron and Audi TDI clean diesel.
This new fuel is essentially e-diesel made of carbon dioxide (C02), water and renewable energy like wind and solar energy. "Blue Crude" is in its infancy, since the plant has only been in production for about a month, but currently Sunfire only has the capacity to produce around 792.5 gallons in the coming months.
This could be a big step, far beyond the current environmentally friendly low- or no-emission vehicles because it draws from the greenhouse gasses that would otherwise enter the atmosphere and damage the climate, and instead uses it for clean fuel, thereby eliminating evidence of its existence altogether.
Here is a great explanation of the Blue Crude e-diesel production process, and what it means for the future and for the climate. What do you think of this new fuel source?
