Audi wants to provide carbon reduction power system for F1, and the latter also uses corn shell to make fuel | 36 carbon to smell

Audi CEO Marcus Dusman said, "Racing is part of the Audi DNA. The new rules of F1 are a good time we join, because F1 and us both have clear sustainable development goals."

At the F1 Belgian Grand Prix at the end of August, Audi announced that it would join F1 in 2026 and develop the power assembly independently.

Although it has not been officially announced which team to acquire, some analysts have pointed out that the acquisition goal is the Somber team that Zhou Guanyu has played. Alfa Romeo's title will expire in 2025. At the same time, Audi CEO Marcus Dusman will be the director of Sosuber's development in 2007-2009, which has made many difficulties for the acquisition of Audi.

Although the F1 event is one of the most well -known platforms for car companies, Audi also wants to use F1 to maintain its own brand positioning with the help of F1. However, high -carbon rows such as F1 such as F1 such as F1 have a greater impact on the environment. Under the global emission reduction environment, newly added car companies can easily cause public opinion disputes.

In November 2019, F1 announced that in 2030, carbon neutrality will be fully used, and biofuels and CCUS technology will be gradually used as important steps to achieve carbon neutrality.

In October 2021, F1 issued a new rule, announcing that after 2025, all teams must fully use 100%sustainable embedded fuels (Drop-in Fuels), and the power part of the hybrid system will be increased to 50%. In early August, the FIFA approved the new rules of F1, which cleaned the worries for Audi to enter F1.

Audi CEO Marcus Dusman said, "Racing is part of the Audi DNA. The new rules of F1 are a good time we join, because F1 and us have a clear sustainable development goal." Previously, Audi announced that Audi announced that it was announced The new models will only be electric vehicles in 2026, and all models will be pure electric vehicles by 2035.

After joining the F1, Audi will use the use of embedded fuel hybrid systems, which will not only help brand positioning improvement, but also the research technology can also be nurtured into the field of commercial vehicles.

The hybrid system required by the new rules is a key way for F1 to go carbon neutral. The main part of the carbon emissions-embedded fuel is biofuel, which is generally divided into 3 generations.

The first generation of biofuels are mainly made of grain and need to be planted for food crops for fuel. This method can easily cause ethical problems that waste grain.

The second -generation biofuels are commonly used for food waste, biomass or home waste such as corn shell, fallen leaves, and other food waste. Beginning in 2022, F1 fully used the "E10" fuel to increase the ethanol content in the hybrid fuel from 5.75%to 10%. The ethanol used in "E10" is the second generation of biofuels produced by animals and plant materials. Compared with fossil fuels, it is more friendly to the environment and reduced carbon emissions.

F1 The embedded fuel that F1 fully used after 2025 is the third -generation biofuel. The team's fuel supplier can make fuel through non -food biomass such as algae and agricultural waste through urban waste. Carbon dioxide emissions. With the other semi -power driver system and CCUS (carbon capture, utilization and storage) technology, the team will complete the goal of net carbon dioxide discharge zero.

The new hybrid system rules have greatly increased the research and development pressure of all teams, so many teams have begun to find new power assembly providers. After Sorb was acquired by Audi, it can rely on Audi's powerful power system research and development capabilities to develop self -sufficiency. In addition, Porsche, who belongs to Volkswagen Group, is the earliest batch of companies to lay out electric sports cars. It has a huge advantage in the power -driven system. It is also rumored that it will acquire half of the shares of Red Bull to provide Red Bull with a new hybrid power system.
