WRONG one drawback to electric vehicles is not because of mileage and speed are limited, and not for charging the batteries that take a long time. The problem is, this vehicle remains re electrocuted (charge) to use electricity generated by coal-fired power plants or nuclear pollution and still have a bad impact on the environment.
Seeing this, the German car manufacturer Audi hopes to reduce this problem in the future through a vehicle that really does not produce CO2. And most importantly, not by planting some trees absorbing CO2 as did the other car makers.
This time, Audi launched a new initiative called 'Audi balanced mobility' and the principal in this aspect is the project 'e-gas'.
In a presentation in Hamburg, Germany at the weekend, Audi presented a concept that is very clean energy source and Audi will be involved directly in production. It's a very bold step compared to other vehicle manufacturers who limit themselves to buying clean energy from a third party.
Audi will build fasiitas energy generation utilizing wind power. The facility will be built in the North Sea. The electricity generated will be used in several different areas.
Production unit will take advantage of wind-powered generating electricity were to produce hydrogen through electrolysis process. Hydrogen can be used in future as an energy source for fuel-cell vehicles. The next step it will be developed to produce methane gas which can be referred to as e-gas. These gases are chemically identical to natural gas and fuel can be used as a conventional engine.
In 2013, Audi will launch a variant of the vehicle with the engine e-gas-fueled. Good again, e-gas generated can be channeled through all the existing fuel infrastructure now that present a solution to address how clean energy can be stored efficiently.
Electricity generated by wind-powered energy generation can certainly be attributed to the replenishment system of electric vehicle battery charging system that provides a truly environmentally friendly.
