Global car giant Stellantis has teamed up with Aramco to prove that existing car fleets could save 400 million tons of carbon using eFuels<\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Hardcore environmentalists often reject synthetic low carbon petrol and diesel substitutes as an alternative to battery EVs, because they only reduce tailpipe emissions by 70 per cent. However, a joint venture between Stellantis and the Aramco energy and chemical group suggests so-called eFuels could be safely used in 28 million existing Stellantis vehicles, potentially saving 400 million tons of CO2 between 2025 and 2050.<\/p>\n

Low carbon eFuels are made by reacting CO2 captured from industrial processes or from the atmosphere, with green hydrogen electrolysed using solar, wind or other renewable energy sources.\u00a0<\/p>\n
