I Tried 'eFuel' ...The Future of Gas?

We got our hands on synthetic gasoline made out of nothing but water and air. Is this "eFuel" stuff legit, and will it make its way into your gas tank one day?

Donut = We like cars, and we like making videos about cars. Hopefully our videos make you like cars too.

If this can keep internal combustion engines still running and we can viably make it in enough quantities to keep up to world demand, I'm all for this!

Step 1 - Build nuclear power plant
Step 2 - Build eFuel plant right next to it
Step 3 - Infinite, cheap eFuel

40$ in such a small scale of production seems promising ngl.

Love seeing my natal country, and city Punta Arenas being part of such an important step into efuels thanks to HIF, my dad works for Linde, the company which is delivering carbon to this factory. Lot of times he has travelled along the truck to make the delivery so I'm very proud. Love your videos Donut, very well edited to see the wonderfull landscapes this zone has.

This is honestly amazing. I see a big future for this kind of fuels in F1 first. They want a eco-friendly sport, so this kind of fuels would be a good choice.

This seems like Donuts first real car journalism (in the traditional since) episode. I'd love to see them delve more into this kind of content.

Donut is filling the TopGear gap that we have all been craving. Well done team, keep up the good work. The topics and video quality are just getting better and better. An old school TopGear-esque $10k car road trip challenge has to be in your future.

This might be really good in Norway in the summer as we have surplus energy from hydropower we could use to create fuel which then becomes a really good "battery" for the winter.

I've been fascinated about this topic for a long time. Audi has had its own eco-oil programme that they abbandoned like 5 years ago for sake of electrification, since then I was dreaming of this concept of eco-oil whenever I had an dispute with my friends regarding electric cars. It seems that Porshe took over their work. I'm so excited to know that this programme is still alive. You have brighten my day. Thank you donut for spreading evangelion!

Zach Jobe is taking Donut back to Science Garage level content, and I'm all for it.

Porsche truly has a passion for engineering and cars

[liamwagner]

This whole segment gives me hope for the future. Thank you guys so much for touching on this topic

Im from Chile and like Ive said in another video, is fun to see this stuff in YT channels like Donut Media instead on local tv channels. Ive saw you IG photos and Im glad to see you've enjoyed our country like the landscape and people. Hope you had a good time here and cant wait to see you again over here

Un abrazo del mejor pais de Chile, hermano!

PS: Also you piblished this video of your adventures in Chile in the same day Ive arrived to the US to start my own adventures

When you think about it, regular gas isn't much easier to obtain, is just cheaper because we have been doing it for so long we have basically mastered it. It's very possible that, if we invest enough money and efforts to make this whole water gas process more efficient and optimized, this stuff will be viable and pretty competitive with regular gas prices in the next 30-40 years. They're just starting, there's much research to be done and this is very promising. Amazing stuff!

This was a fun video to watch this morning. Fresh, good info, and when the boys are traveling, you can never go wrong

[izu]

the fact that they are already at "only" 40$ a gallon is honestly nothing but amazing. remember they get that stuff from air and water only. if they make these around the world, in more central areas like europe and the US, im sure production can be ramped up rapidly and prices can be cut by a ton to almost regular fuel if not less even.

GO PORSCHE!

$40 a gallon is expensive but I’m sure once everyone starts making this it’ll get cheaper

[tennysonjames]

Man, nothing hits better than a solo Zach Jobe video in the morning! This man puts out some of the absolute best donut content when he is in front of the camera. Keep up the great work jobey!

4:48 You could filter the emissions from Biogasplants for the C02 / C0

I would love to see a longer version of this video of the boys just having fun traveling!
