Simultaneously, each tank weighs 27 kg (59.52 pounds) less than their conventional counterparts. Actually out of the tanks, there is a new type of matrix, wherein the inner layer of gas impermeable polyamide polymer blend, while the second layer - of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), so that the tank of its extremely high tensile strength. In addition, the third layer of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP), is the robust protection against damage from outside. High-strength epoxy resin is used to bind the fiber reinforced materials.

Another highlight of the A3 Sportback g-tron is the electronic pressure regulator, which is compact and lightweight and reduces the high pressure of the gas from the cylinders bar in about five to nine in two phases. For example, if the pressure in the tank under ten Barr, the engine management system to automatically gasoline.

Moreover, the consumption is also impressive: the five-door model consumes less than 3.5 kg per 100 km or CNG Audi e-gas - the fuel that green energy is the Audi e-gas project. CO2 exhaust emissions of less than 95 grams per km (152.89 g/mile) running on gas.

What is attractive, the greenhouse gas balance in a well-to-wheel analysis, the. Accounts for all factors from the power source to the wheels of the car, if the Audi A3 Sportback g-tron is e-gas not supplied CO2. Purchasers of the Audi A3 Sportback g-tron, the e-gas stations probably from public CNG filling stations across an ecological accounting ¬ method. This so-called e-gas project, Audi is the first automobile manufacturer. An entire chain of sustainable energy development the beginning of the chain of electricity from renewable energy sources and the final products are hydrogen and synthetic Audi e-gas.

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. The current gas technology is a key objective of promoting the development of renewable energy.
