Audi Uses Environmentally Friendly Synthetic Fuels, Or The EU's 2035 Ban On Internal Combustion Engines Will Be Shaken?

Recently, the European Union's plan to ban the sale of new diesel and gasoline vehicles by 2035 has been objected to by Germany. The reason: Synthetic fuels can replace the fossil fuels used in cars.

   According to overseas media reports, this objection was raised by German Transport Minister Volker Wissing during an informal meeting in Europe recently. Seeing the value of environmentally friendly and sustainable applications of new synthetic fuels, the Minister stated:

   "In the future, we cannot rely solely on pure electric or hydrogen energy for travel, we need to be technologically neutral. Especially considering that the current new energy vehicles cannot perfectly replace traditional diesel vehicles, more possibilities should be considered in terms of carbon neutrality. ."

   It is worth noting that the point of time when the German transport minister made the above comments came just after the German car company Audi announced that its V6 diesel engine can already use renewable fuels. In other words, the objection raised by the German minister is well-founded.

   On February 23, Audi not only officially announced that its V6 diesel engine is already available on renewable fuels, but also claimed that the engine's carbon dioxide emissions can be effectively reduced by 70 percent to 95 percent , which is undoubtedly very exciting. In particular, the hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel used in the Audi V6 diesel engine belongs to the second-generation biodiesel, which is a kind of oil and fat raw material. The pure hydrocarbon renewable liquid fuel generated by hydrodeoxygenation is an internationally recognized new type of biofuel and one of the strategic products of the bioenergy industry.

   However, Volker Wissing is not the first person in Europe to oppose the domination of electric vehicles. Italian Ecology Minister Roberto Cingolani has previously stated that the future of the car can not only rely on electric drive, but can be solved by an ultra-modern hybrid system with low performance but extremely low carbon dioxide emissions.

   Some observers said that Germany, as a powerhouse of traditional fuel vehicles in the world, still has great technological potential. Although Europe's proposed 2035 ban on internal combustion engines is still in the proposal stage and requires a long approval process and acceptance by EU member states, it has brought enormous pressure to the global traditional auto giants and traditional auto powers to explore breakthroughs in fuel vehicles. , is urgent.

Once the new synthetic fuels are economical and practical in practical applications, they do work well, and they can be quickly popularized, then Europe's proposed 2035 internal combustion engine ban proposal may be shaken and changed.
