Applications
Motorsports
Although motorsports’ contribution to global CO₂ emissions is negligible, the amount of media attention they receive makes them an easy target to attack. Moreover, various racing series are generally seen as cutting-edge in the development of automotive transport.
Pioneer and role model
For motor and automotive manufacturers, it creates an extremely attractive market environment in which to position themselves as forward-thinking and responsible companies. A motor racing sport that is largely CO₂ neutral at the highest level can attract various target groups to the topic of sustainability.
e-fuels offer impressive solutions with the following key benefits.
e-gasoline for motorsports
While methanol is already used in various racing series, especially overseas, and can easily be replaced by e-methanol, racing fuel is used on European race tracks and in Formula 1. This must meet special requirements stipulated by the engine manufacturers.
The production of a compatible racing fuel based on e-methanol is technically quite demanding and cost-intensive. However, it is the only alternative to eliminating CO₂ emissions while maintaining the existing racing engine technology and power density.
