Engineering explained: Are E-Fuels for real? jasonfenske13
The combustion engine doesn’t have to die. At least, that’s what an industry contends as it scrambles to come up with the answer for a growing problem: how to reduce carbon emissions. E-fuels, or synthetic fuels, promise to be a drop-in solution that not only keeps current cars on the road but also ensures they produce virtually zero net emissions. You have every right to be skeptical.
, a journal of the American Chemical Society, estimated that the final cost of a synthetic fuel would be $3.80 to $9.20 per gallon, but that was in 2010 dollars. Adjusted for inflation, that’s $5.16 to $12.50 per gallon. Porsche, itself looking into the e-fuels business, recently stated prices eventually could settle around $7.60 per gallon or less. But just two years ago Porsche claimed costs were closer to $37 per gallon.
a vehicle is electric or uses synthetic fuels, it all starts with electricity production. According to a 2020 SAE study, about 40 to 70 percent of the electricity produced will make it to the wheels of an EV. For an e-fuels car, that number is only six to 18 percent. It’s possible that an e-fueled car could require 10 times more energy than an electric car to travel the same distance.Efficiency correlates with cost.
