MAN Energy Solutions is to supply the methanol reactor for an eFuels pilot plant currently being built by HIF, an international e-fuels company based in Chile, with the participation of Porsche AG together with Siemens Energy and other project companies near the southern Chilean city of Punta Arenas. The “Haru Oni” pilot project takes advantage of the excellent wind conditions in southern Chile to generate synthetic, climate-neutral fuel − so-called eFuels − with the help of renewable power. By international standards, Chile offers ideal conditions for the production of green hydrogen and synthetic fuels made from it.

Porsche Classic Will Now Build Custom One-Off Dream Cars
Customers will be integrated into a team of Porsche designers and engineers to go through the process of building their dream car. Porsche
Porsche Classic will now take customer requests for one-off dream cars and build them as part of its Sonderwunsch program.
Requests need to be technically feasible, though, and can include exterior and interior customization as well as suspension and powertrain upgrades.
Porsche will start this year with three to five customer builds.
Porsche Classic, the German automaker s restoration and parts division, and Exclusive Manufaktur, its bespoke division, are working together to build customers cars into special one-off creations. Its Sonderwunsch program will take owners requests and transform their car, new or old, into almost anything they want. Customization typically involves transforming the materials in the interior or refinishing the exterior paintwork, but upgrades to the p

Synthetic fuels are compatible with existing internal combustion engines and could be produced via carbon-neutral processes to offset the carbon dioxide generated when the synthetic fuels are burnt.
Porsche is teaming up with Siemens, Enel, AME, and ENAP to develop and build a pilot factory. The plant will initially produce 130,000 litres of synthetic fuel; however, this figure will grow over time and upon acceptance as a viable alternative.
Synthetic fuels are also being talked about as an alternative for aircraft, ships, heavy goods and construction vehicles, where batteries, which lack the energy density of conventional fuel, are not currently viable. Porsche’s synthetic fuels will initially only be used in motorsports, at Porsche Experience Centres and in a limited number of their own production cars.
