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,” Steiner said in a statement. Electrical energy generated by a wind turbine is used to form hydrogen via electrolysis of water, essentially the reverse of what happens in a hydrogen fuel cell.

One solution for dealing with the carbon emissions of internal-combustion engines are carbon-neutral synthetic fuels, or eFuels—a name that's growing in popularity.

Porsche has started producing synthetic fuel in Chile that's designed to power internal combustion engines in a nearly carbon-neutral way.

Michael Steiner, Member of the Executive Board for Development and Research at Porsche, said that eFuels will "offer the owners of existing cars a nearly carbon-neutral alternative." That's 145 million gallons, and a drop in the bucket of fuel consumption, but it’s also a start. The company expects its capacity to increase to 550 million litres two years later.

Porsche and Siemens Energy have jointly opened a production plant for CO2-neutral vehicle fuel (eFuel). This could once again shake up the debate about climate- ...

That’s not likely – the course has been set in the industry, and acceptance of e-cars is also growing steadily among buyers. This applies above all to those areas that cannot be electrified or can only be electrified with difficulty, such as shipping and air traffic – but also to the vehicles with internal combustion engines that are still in use. And what’s more, this technology could alleviate the existing dependence of European and American vehicle manufacturers on batteries or battery materials from China. Porsche is holding out the prospect of a price of “less than 2 euros per liter” – which would be only slightly more than the current price level in Central Europe. The fuel is synthesized from water, the CO2 taken from the atmosphere, and wind energy. But the installed base of combustion vehicles – around 1.4 billion cars and commercial vehicles worldwide – would continue to weigh on the environmental balance sheet of the transport sector.

Start of production at the Haru Oni pilot plant in southern Chile marks a milestone in decarbonizing the transportation sector; Siemens Energy is working ...

The project is the first to apply the Clean Energy Certification solution developed by the TÜV Süd testing NGO and the German Energy Agency (DENA) in collaboration with Siemens Energy. It enjoys support from Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action: in 2020, Haru Oni became the first hydrogen project to be funded as part of Germany’s national hydrogen strategy. After the pilot phase, the first scaling will take the project in Chile up to a projected 55 million liters per year by the middle of the decade. The system is expected to produce 130,000 liters of eFuel per year by 2023. Siemens Energy designed and led the system integration of HIF Global’s pilot plant in collaboration with Porsche and other partners. The Haru Oni plant, near the city of Punta Arenas in southern Chile, combines wind power, water, and CO2 to make e-methanol and ultimately electricity-based carbon-neutral gasoline.

A pressing challenge facing the aviation industry is to aggressively reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the face of increasing demand for aviation fuels.

International regulations currently limit the level of SAF in blends to 50% as a maximum. Carbon offsetting will be used to address the residual emissions. The DfT claims that this flight will be net-zero. The Committee has urged policymakers to do more to cap airport expansion and to support early-stage technologies like electric planes of a commercial scale. The ZEFI exists to support key airport infrastructure, including hydrogen refuelling infrastructure. The UK has now also formally joined the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) assistance, capacity building and training programme for SAF. Suppliers will need to reach at least 10% SAF use by 2030, and interim carbon intensity requirements will be phased in from 2025. The projects have respective production capacities, annually, of 86.6kt of SAF and 83.7kt of SAF. The Fund itself was first created this July, with a commitment of up to £165m to be allocated by the end of March 2025. The other waste-derived SAF projects securing DfT funding today are alfanar Energy Ltd’s project at the Industrial Cluster in Teesside, and Fulcrum BioEnergy Ltd’s project in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. Velocys is yet to confirm a location for its project that aspires to convert captured carbon into SAF. One of these projects is Velcoys’s waste-to-fuel project set for Immingham in Lincolnshire.

SAF plants in Teesside, Immingham and Ellesmere Port are working to convert everyday household and commercial waste into sustainable jet fuel.

The successful projects will also slash CO2 emissions by an average of 200,000 tonnes each year once fully up and running – the equivalent of taking 100,000 cars off the road. Other successful projects include a SAF plant in Port Talbot which will convert steel mill off-gases into sustainable jet fuel and the early development of a SAF plant using carbon capture and hydrogen made from renewable electricity. Building on the success of the Green Fuels, Green Skies programme, the five projects will alone produce more than 300,000 tonnes of SAF a year – enough to fly to the moon and back an estimated 60 times.

Westinghouse Electric Company and Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) have signed a 10-year contract to fabricate and deliver VVER-1000 nuclear fuel f.

The fuel will be supplied out of Westinghouse’s fabrication site in Västerås, Sweden and is the only fully independent alternative to Russian supply. “This long-term partnership will also reinforce the plant’s operational efficiency and high standards of safety.” Westinghouse Electric Company is shaping the future of carbon-free energy by providing safe, innovative nuclear technologies to utilities globally. Westinghouse supplied the world’s first commercial pressurized water reactor in 1957 and the company’s technology is the basis for nearly one-half of the world's operating nuclear plants. We are proud to support Bulgaria on its path to ensure diversification and energy security,” said Tarik Choho, Westinghouse President of Nuclear Fuel. This new agreement guarantees reliable supply of the only fully Western option for VVER nuclear fuel fabrication.

In order to ensure nuclear safety, this system will be implemented from 2023 and will work in parallel with the current system to enable staff to be trained and technology to be synchronised. Bulgaria's Energy Minister Rossen Hristov said: "Today is a significant day for the Bulgarian nuclear energy industry. The fuel will be supplied from Westinghouse's fabrication site in Västerås, Sweden, with licensing expected over the next year, and supply beginning in 2024, according to a Bulgarian National Television report.

This way we are ensuring our energy security,” the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant head said.

Bulgarian Energy Minister Rossen Hristov said that at present nuclear fuel shipments from Russia were unclear, so the new 10-year contract with Westinghouse helped secure the plant’s operation. Bulgaria’s state-owned Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant signed a deal with Westinghouse Electric Sweden to supply it with nuclear fuel for its 1,000-megawatt Russian-built Unit 5 in a step towards diversifying nuclear fuel supply away from Russian supplies, the nuclear power plant head said on Thursday. The European Union country currently relies on Russian nuclear fuel for the two 1,000-megawatt units at the Kozloduy plant but is seeking to boost energy security following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
