Finally the developed countries have realised the need for renewable and alternate means of powering the vehicles. these inlude electricity, cng, ethanol etc. However Audi has accepted the challenge for converting electricity into cng as their future plan. The concept is very simple.(H)
Audi has unveiled their new e-gas project, which aims to make the company a leader in renewable energy.
While the specifics are somewhat technical, Audi will build a new plant that produces hydrogen by means of electrolysis. The hydrogen can then be used in fuel-cell vehicles or combined with CO2 to create methane (aka synthetic natural gas or e-gas as Audi calls it).
As you'd expect, Audi isn't doing this out of the kindness of their hearts as the company will produce a new natural gas engine which is based on the four-cylinder TFSI. Specifications haven't been released, but the first engine is slated to be launched in 2013.:)
