Oh! Oh! Oh!,
Guess who own Porsche?
None other than Volkswagen!
Something tells me this story is going to run and run!

So another words, it’s moonshine.

Like perpetual motion these are scams.

The last one I was involved with was just such a scam, I was asked by a potential investor to vet it before he put his money down. It was described as Hydrogen hydrolysis using cheap aluminium as a catalyst and so using little electricity. When you looked at the figures the Aluminium was being used a a fuel not a catalyst. It effectively consumed the electrical energy used to make the Aluminium from Bauxite by converting the aluminium back into aluminium oxide. It tried to say this was low cost as it consumed scrap aluminium, which is rubbish as scrap aluminium is priced by the cost of converting bauxite into aluminium and so the cost of electricity which could instead be used directly for hydrogen hydrolysis. The investor kept his money in his pocket.

Not much real info in the article.
What is eFuel? Ethanol? Panther piss?
They don't say.

Anyone remember Viz's: 'Petrol Fish' advert?

Porsche appear to be doubling down on this eFuel business.
They seem to be serious enough to want to rejoin Formula 1 to prove it out.
