The average car stays on the road for over eight years; meaning that even if the whole world switched to buying 100% electric cars tomorrow, it would still take almost a decade for today’s internal combustion engines to be off the road. The ability to create gasoline from air, cost competitively with fossil fuels, is a game changer.

The buying principle for Audi e-gas is straightforward and corresponds to how green electricity is distributed: Audi records the quantities of gas that the customer pays for using the Audi e-gas fuel card and ensures that exactly this amount of Audi e-gas is fed into the German natural gas network. kilograms of gas per 100 kilometers.

Even with a CO 2 price as high as $40/ton, it is cheaper to build a pulverized coal facility and buy relatively inexpensive CO 2 emissions permits. In the meantime, in the absence of any other regulatory constraints, new coal or gas-fired generation will be built without CO 2 emissions controls. The same is true of natural gas-fired plants.
