2023 Porsche 911 Turbo S eFuel - Haru Oni eFuels pilot plant

Описание: Last Friday, Porsche AG proudly celebrated the opening of the Haru Oni eFuels pilot plant in Punta Arenas, Chile. Barbara Frenkel, Member of the Executive Board for Procurement of Porsche AG and Michael Steiner, Member of Porsche’s Executive Board and Head of Research & Development, were in attendance to inaugurate the first-of-its kind facility.

In a demonstration that showcased its commitment to synthetic fuels created from water and CO₂ with nearly carbon-neutral results, Ms. Frenkel filled up a Gentian Blue Porsche 911 with the new fuel while Mr. Steiner took it for a spin around a wind turbine at the base of the plant--an appropriate metaphor for how this revolutionary fuel is produced!

Porsche's investment in Highly Innovative Fuels (HIF) has paid off. The fuel production process begins with splitting water into oxygen molecules which are released into the atmosphere like a synthetic tree and then combines hydrogen with CO₂ to produce methanol. A final step then turns that methanol into gasoline. Although some transport emissions are still generated when shipping back to Europe on an industrial scale, far less carbon dioxide is emitted than what is removed from the atmosphere during production.

Haru Oni is more than just a symbol of hope in the fight against climate change—it represents tangible progress. In addition to producing 130,000 litres of eFuel a year, by 2026 Haru Oni will produce 55 million litres and 10 times that amount by 2028.

Porsche is currently selling more than 80% of its cars with all-electric drivetrains and is committed to sustainable production with regenerative fuels, which would enable older Porsche cars to run on combustion engines long into the future. The new eFuel enables these cars to do so without burning fossil fuels.

Beyond cars, the potential for this revolutionary fuel isn't limited to automotive applications. With the ingenuity of modern engineering and a little help from the wind turbines near Punta Arenas, Chile, Haru Oni hopes to push the boundaries of aviation and shipping industries as well as provide renewable energy sources for Porsche Experience Centres worldwide.

Haru Oni's pilot plant proves that it only takes five seconds for one small step towards sustainability—five seconds for a Porsche 911 filled up with an extraordinary nearly carbon-neutral new fuel — to move us closer towards a renewable energy future!
