Oil is not made from "dead dinosaurs". It's not even a so-called "fossil fuel". This myth is based on theory that has since been disproven over and over by actual scientists. Oil is abiotic and is produced by the earth, much like how your body produces blood; it will never run out. In fact, the supply is greater now more than ever but has been limited by governing and lobbying interests. Also, if "carbon" is the supposed problem then electric is far worse, as most electricity in the world is produced by coal. The debate is pollutants, not carbon dioxide. CO2 is actually ideal for the atmosphere... Photosynthesis. With that said, I fully support alternative fuel sources and this video was pretty cool.

The energy spent to make this fuel would be at least 10 times more efficient if it was simply sent to the grid and used to charge an electric vehicle. So Porsche has just proved to everyone something we already knew. Compared to green electric power, this technology is pointless.

Now i can remember if this was € or $ but it is just for comparison now. They also claimed that if they scaled up production and taking production from the North sea to Northern Africa (Mediterranean sea) then this e fuel or synthetic gasoline could be produced at a cost of 10 cents per kwh. This is 66% more than gasoline and thus is very promising. It will depent on governments how much taxes they going to charge to make it compatible with the common gasoline.

So not only are they using a boat load of Electricity to make Hydrogen, their also using a boat load of Electricity to make that hydrogen into gas. And don't even get me started on the whole "oil came from dinosaurs" B.S. This has been proven false for many many years.

It's $40 a gallon with C02 coming from less than green sources, no word on the price tag with actual C02 capture from the air.

Might be worth using for small engines or working in remote areas.

I always thought about twin charging with a traditional turbo, and electric turbo. Would be for a mostly racing application, like drag racing. Have the electric turbo turn on when you hit a button and turn off once it reaches a certain rpm/boost from the traditional turbo. That way you can hit a boost/launch button for launching for the elcteic turbo to spool before actually hitting the gas pedal. After the electeic turbo battery dies, you can either swap batteries (like dewalt drill battery) or let the alternator recarge the electric turbo slowly.

I hope you guys cover Toyota's Hydrogen engine. It's also internal combustion engine but instead of using gasoline it uses H2 gas as fuel. Its exhaust product is literally water vapour. My favourite part about this whole project is that to promote it, they revived two AE86s and put two carbon neutral engines in them (BEV and H2). The best part about the AE86 H2 is that it used the exact same 4AGE engine but fed it H2 instead of gasoline.

Depending on the process, it may be easier to tune parameters beyond just octane such as lubricity and density (which could increase engine longevity or eek out another few miles per tank)

The energy costs for the creation of this fuel don't justify the output that you can achieve with it, at least not with today's and the foreseeable future's technology. By the looks of it, you could use the same amount of energy and get a lot more hydrogen or just electricity than you'll ever get from the gas that you are producing so it's really not a great energy source on its own, but for those who want to maintain an IC engine, it will be something that they will really love.

​@Andrew Duong how? Itd be most effective in areas with high CO2 pollution (in cities) and so itll be easier and cheaper to capture CO2 there and then shipped to plants. Or even have a plant near the city like Pasadena or Freeport in Texas.

It does not really matter. one gust of wind and the co2 is pread out. There's pretty much as much co2 in everywhere in the world. Placement of these facilities does not make a difference to their efficensy. Could even be counterproductive, if their filters should be changed more frequently due other particles.

@@andrewduong2740 As a society you save future money as well, as you pull co2 out of the air you will also inherently pull particles out as well, making the air quality better. Air quality better= lower healthcare costs, on a broad scale.

A quick correction: oil is not made out of dinosaurs. It's made out of plants. People think it's dinosaur sludge because of the gas station that had a big dinosaur logo on it back in the 60s.

well... not solely plants. The accepted theory, is plankton and algae, so zooplankton as well. Also, Zach talks about "hydrocarbons released into the atmosphere" - while showing CO2. And implies the problem with greenhouse gases is how they affect the ozone layer... All told, this episode begins with some very dodgy "science".

It doesn't help that they were called fossil fuels which alot of people associate with dead dinos and not plankton.

Very cool. However, does the process of making it use up more energy than you get from the product? All that heating, etc. Could you do a video on ethanol/methanol fuel cells?

"made out of nothing but water and air" Those are the two most important things we need!

Best explanation of ozone ever! Why couldn't my teachers make it that simple?

Thank you so much for this very important and well informed/informing video. While I consider myself a car enthusiast as which I don't hate any technology making a car drive, the climate crisis is an actual problem to be taken seriously and emissions from ICE cars are in fact contributing to our world problem. In my eyes the switch to electric is inevitable and needed sooner than later. Also in my opionion resources should be spent on making EVs the go-to-decision, the no-brainer, instead of manufacturing new ICE models. It just makes sense for everyone, love it or hate it. That being said, I fully embrace the developement of e-fuels to keep existing cars running, on the one hand as a transition for big industries or the indiviual not just quite ready for the switch, and on the other hand to keep the hobby of driving great cars that are just fun. And all of that without actually doing harm to anyone. Should it be more expensive than the fuel prices we're used to: consider this being a hobby and you're not using that much gasoline in a year! And in case it gets cheaper over time, even if not as cheap as we're used to now: heck, whatever! Make EV's the no-brainer and use ICE's whenever you're down for an experience.

This is awesome, yeah its expensive rn but that's a simple enough process to make this viable by having more facilities, and it's like a co2, filter system

It's not any more environmentally friendly than normal gasoline, so testing it is pointless. The difference is that it's produced with carbon captured from the air.

The problem is that it uses far more energy than traditional fuel. You would be way better off by using the electicity generated by rewneable energy sources and use it directly in homes.
