    An Audi research facility in Dresden, Germany, has managed to create the first batches of diesel fuel with a net-zero carbon footprint — made from carbon dioxide (CO2), water and renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power.

    Germany’s government has welcomed the new technology, created in partnership with a greentech company called Sunfire. Johanna Wanka, Germany’s Federal Minister of Education and Research, even test drove the fuel and called it, “a crucial contribution to climate protection and the efficient use of resources,” according to an Audi press release.

    Manufacturing involves first breaking down steam into hydrogen and oxygen through high-temperature electrolysis. The hydrogen then reacts with CO2 to create a liquid called “blue crude.” This is then refined to make the e-diesel.

    A visual infographic released by Audi explains the steps in detail.

    奥迪设在德国德累斯顿的研发部门已成功研制出首批零碳排放的柴油机燃料,完全由二氧化碳、水以及风能、太阳能等可再生能源制成。

    这项新技术由该公司和绿色科技企业Sunfire共同开发,德国政府表示欢迎。奥迪发布新闻公告称,德国联邦教育和研究部长约翰娜•万卡还试驾了使用该燃料的汽车,称之为“对气候保护的重要贡献,以及对资源的高效利用”。

    生产新型柴油的第一步是通过高温电解把水分解为氢气和氧气。随后,氢气和二氧化碳发生反应,生成名为“蓝色原油”的液体,经过提炼,便可得到环保柴油。

    奥迪用可视化信息图详细解释了具体步骤。
