I-Audi ithatha isinyathelo esisha ekukhiqizeni amafutha enziwe angathathi hlangothi e-CO2. Ngokuvulwa kwemboni yokuhlola eJalimane, eDresden-Reick, uhlobo lwendandatho luzokhiqiza amalitha angu-160 e-“Blue Crude” ngosuku kusetshenziswa amanzi, i-CO2 kanye nogesi oluhlaza.
Isikhungo sokuhlola savulwa ngoLwesihlanu olwedlule futhi manje silungiselela ukukhiqiza i-"Blue Crude", nge-50% yezinto ezikhiqizwayo ezingashintshwa zibe yi-synthetic diesel. "I-Blue Crude", engenaso isibabule nama-aromatics, icebile ku-cetane, okusho ukuthi ivutha kakhulu.
Amakhemikhali alo mafutha avumela ingxube yawo ne-diesel ye-fossil, evumela ukusetshenziswa kwayo njenge-drop-in fuel. Ukuthola kuka-Audi e-fuels kwaqala ngo-2009 nge-e-gas: i-Audi A3 g-tron ingaphehlwa nge-synthetic methane, ekhiqizwa eLower Saxony, e-Werlte, embonini ye-e-gas yakwa-Audi.

Ubuchwepheshe obubili, ukusebenzisana okubili
Ngokubambisana ne-Climaworks ne-Sunfire, i-Audi kanye nabalingani bayo bahlose ukufakazela ukuthi ukuthuthukiswa kwezimboni zama-e-fuels kungenzeka. Lo msebenzi, oxhaswe ngokubambisana uMnyango Wezemfundo Nokucwaninga Wesifunda saseJalimane, wandulelwa iminyaka emibili nengxenye yocwaningo nentuthuko.
I-CO2 ikhishwa emoyeni ozungezile, ilandelwe inqubo “yamandla-kuya-kuketshezi”, eyethulwa kule nqubo Ngomlilo Welanga. Kodwa ikhiqizwa kanjani?
