Stuttgart, Germany - Porsche and international partners have started the industrial production of synthetic fuels in collaboration with Chilean operating company Highly Innovative Fuels (HIF).
In the presence of Chilean Energy Minister Diego Pardow, the ‘Haru Oni’ pilot plant in Punta Arenas, Chile was officially opened with executives and dignitaries fueling a Porsche 911 with the first synthetic fuel produced at the site.
The eFuel, made from water and carbon dioxide using wind energy, enables the nearly CO2-neutral operation of gasoline engines. Michael Steiner, Member of the Executive Board for Development and Research at Porsche AG, says "The potential of eFuels is huge.
The eFuel, made from water and carbon dioxide using wind energy, enables the nearly CO2-neutral operation of gasoline engines. Michael Steiner, Member of the Executive Board for Development and Research at Porsche AG, says "The potential of eFuels is huge.
There are currently more than 1.3 billion vehicles with combustion engines worldwide. Many of these will be on the roads for decades to come, and eFuels offer the owners of existing cars a nearly carbon-neutral alternative."
The fuel is produced using a power-to-liquid (PTL) process, which converts water and carbon dioxide into a liquid fuel using renewable electricity.
The key benefit of Porsche eFuel is its low carbon emissions, produced using renewable electricity without generating carbon emissions during the production process. When burned in an engine, it releases only the carbon dioxide used to make it, resulting in a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to gasoline.
Porsche eFuel is also designed to be compatible with existing infrastructure, making it easy to use in any vehicle that runs on gasoline. The fuel can be pumped at a filling station like gasoline without any modifications to the vehicle.

Porsche is testing eFuel in several of its vehicles, including the 911 GT3 and the Panamera, with impressive performance and acceleration similar to gasoline.
In the pilot phase, eFuel production of 130,000 liters per year is planned and will be used in special projects such as the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup and Porsche Experience Centers.

After the pilot phase, the first scaling will increase the project's capacity to 55 million liters per year by the middle of the decade and 550 million liters two years later.
Porsche will first use eFuels in special projects, including as the fuel for the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup racing series. The cost of eFuel currently stands at $45 per gallon, but it is projected to cost less than $8 per gallon by 2026.
The south of Chile offers ideal conditions for eFuel production with wind blowing for around 270 days a year and enabling the wind turbines to operate at full capacity.

Punta Arenas is located near the Strait of Magellan, from where the synthetic eFuel can be transported and distributed using the existing infrastructure worldwide.
Porsche eFuel is an exciting development that has the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions from the transportation sector.
