The additional capital will be used to develop industrial eFuel facilities in Chile, the US and Australia, which have large supplies of renewable energy. EFuels make an important contribution to climateprotection and complement our electromobility in a meaningful way. AME remains the majority shareholder of HIF Global LLC.
Energy-intensive power-to-heat systems like this new electric ring hearth furnace support the decarbonization of heat generation—an essential aspect of climateprotection. They generate heat by climate-friendly means and can be powered among other things with excess energy from renewables.
Already some 29 countries are involved as participants or observers, including large markets such as China and the USA. We clearly need biomass as a source of renewable energy. We cannot do without the contribution to climateprotection made by sustainable and ecologically produced biomass.
It has been externally provided with renewable energy generated by hydroelectric power stations since 2017. However, should CO 2 emissions be unavoidable along the supply chain, these will be compensated by investments in climateprotection projects. The Saxon Volkswagen plant is the pilot factory for the ID.3.
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO or renewable diesel), which is already commercially available today, reduces CO 2 emissions by up to 90%. HVO allows our customers to significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions with existing vehicles and engines and to make an important contribution to climateprotection today.
The start-up of the pilot production at the Lingen site is a major milestone for us in bringing the “green iron” product to market maturity and establishing German technology worldwide. The Lower Saxony Ministry for the Environment, Energy and ClimateProtection is funding the construction of the pilot electrolysis plant with €8 million.
We must use all technologies to achieve our climateprotection goals. The system must be operated 100% with electricity from renewable energy sources. Hydrogen and fuel cell applications are a future technology with great potential for the transport sector. Applications for funding can be submitted until 28 April 2023.
These technologies include, but are not limited to, advanced aftertreatment and waste heat recovery; lean-burn plus lean-NO x emissions traps; integration of zero-emission miles technologies; further refinements in reducing friction and parasitic energy losses; and widespread utilization of renewable and natural gas and hydrogen blends.
