I'm very curious what the 8 ingredients are that make this synthetic fuel, but no doubt it'll be very expensive. However, for the right vehicle or right time, I'm definitely interested in hearing more about this.

There have been a few companies working on this kind of stuff for years, including the US military, using various technology/processes. Back in ~2007-2009 Audi was experimenting with "SynGas" and eDiesel with a German start up...I'm curious if this is a continuation of that. At that time they said it was around $4.50/gal.

 

There's also a company out of Canada that is making fuel through direct carbon capture out of the air.

 

IMO, this stuff hasn't had enough backing, and it has the potential to drastically reduce carbon emissions immediately without any changes to major infrastructure. I would like to see more of this, and there will definitely be a place in the market for it, as long as legislation doesn't kill it.
