Porsche E Fuel. Is this the ultimate solution?

These days most manufacturers are racing to create greener alternatives to there gasoline counterparts, but what about the hundreds of millions of gas powered cars that are already on our roads? They aren’t going anywhere soon and they will keep polluting if no alternative is made available to them. Porsche has been working on synthetic fuels and they call it Efuels, and Porsche claims that these fuels can make the internal combustion motor as clean as a electric vehicle.

As a petrol head and lover of combustion vehicles this is the miracle I have been waiting for. Porsches efuels are made out of CO2 and hydrogen and they are produced using only renewable energy sources. Now this magic substance will can be produced in a climate neutral manner, and it will burn in the same way as gasoline, which means you can switch from your current fuel to this efuel with out any modifications to the engine

Porsches vice precident of motorsport told the U.K publication Evo "Synthetic fuel is cleaner and there is no byproduct ,and when we start full production we expect a CO2 reduction of 85 percent," He further stated "From a 'well to wheel' perspective—and you have to consider the well-to-wheel impact of all vehicles—this will be the same level of CO2 produced in the manufacture and use of an electric vehicle." Now if you don’t know what well to wheel means, wel to wheel takes everything into account, this analysis shows not only the emissions caused by burning of the fuels, but also takes into account the emissions involved in production. And as we all know electric cars aren’t very green to produce, yes they have no emissions on the road but there production is anything but green.
