The synthetic fuel, which resembles petrol, diesel and kerosene is a product of water and carbon dioxide conversion. To produce the new synthetic fuel, the guys at Dresden’s Sunfire GmbH followed […]

Combined with the installation of an all-new e-gas plant, the car runs carbon-neutral, sort of. First, Audi A3, which is probably the cheapest way to buy into the Audi luxury brand, is equipped with a turbocharged dual-fuel 1.4ℓ i4, […]

Carbon Recycling International (CRI) may have found a way to do just that by combining a number of technologies over a very special part of the earth. Iceland, the land of fire and ice, is an interesting […]
