Porsche building an e-fuel plant...

...with Siemens in Chile.

"Wind energy will power the electrolyzers to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

A proprietary methanol-to-gasoline process provided under license by Exxon Mobil results in e-gas. Porsche says the liquid fuel will be safe without modification for all of its cars, including classic models."
