What's more, the construction of the world's first industrial plant for synthetic methane (E-Gas) production of CO2 and renewable electricity almost entirely in Werlte Germany. The Audi e-gas plant will find a way to tap into the natural gas grid, with its enormous capacity to store and transport up to that excess electricity capacity. The CO2 is used in the Audi e-gas is a waste product from ¬ a nearby biogas plant operated by the utility EWE. The CO2, which would otherwise pollute the atmosphere chemically bound in the fuel at the Audi e-gas plant. In addition, it is expected that the e-gas plant is about 1,000 tonnes per year of e-gas and will produce chemically bind approximately 2,800 tons of CO2. In other words, the CO2-neutral e-gas from the plant will be able to power the new 1500 Audi A3 Sportback g-tron vehicles per year.
