![]() ![]() At the end of March, the European Commision struck a deal with Germany that will allow the sale of combustion engine vehicles running on synthetic e-fuels even after the EU’s zero-emission vehicle policy takes effect in 2035. This idea is already gaining traction, Senecal says, pointing to recent events in Europe. ![]() ![]() “Electric vehicles are a great technology for certain applications and geographical regions, but they face their own sustainability issues: dirty energy grids, scarce resources for manufacturing batteries, the human and environmental impacts of mining those resources, and higher consumer costs, to name a few.”Ĭarbon-free and carbon-neutral fuels can fill in the gaps, Senecal claims, by helping to decarbonize existing vehicle fleets, reducing the battery resource burden, and providing a clean alternative solution in regions where electric grids are still heavily reliant on fossil fuels. “Well-intentioned laws aimed at combating climate change are in reality doing more harm than good,” says Senecal. According to Senecal, policies that ban internal combustion engines in the coming decades are excluding a key technology that could accelerate the transition to sustainable transportation. Senecal will speak to industry experts, academics, and government researchers at SAE International’s 2023 World Congress Experience (WCX), April 18–20 in Detroit.Ĭombustion engine vehicles running on alternative fuels have the potential to be low carbon or even carbon neutral, particularly if they are hybridized. MADISON, WI, USA, April 5, 2023/ / - Kelly Senecal, Co-Founder of Convergent Science and Visiting Professor at the University of Oxford, will push for alternative fuels to be part of future climate policy during an upcoming keynote address. Kelly Senecal, Co-Founder of Convergent Science The poster is centred around the car's performance and accomplishments, with a list of starts, wins, podium finishes, and the drivers who contributed to its success.Dr. The Red Bull Racing RB18 is joining the roster of our Blueprint Collection! The poster is a testament to the remarkable craftsmanship and design of the vehicle, displaying it from various angles to highlight its impressive features and distinguished livery. Considering the stats from the 2022 Formula One season, we can call the RB18 a masterpiece of automotive engineering. The engine is strategically placed in a mid-mounted, rear-wheel drive layout, giving the car exceptional handling and balance, while its lightweight construction, weighing in at 798 kg (1759 lbs), provides an aerodynamic advantage. In combination with the cutting-edge Red Bull Powertrains electric motor, the car was a technical marvel. Masterminded by designer Adrian Newey, RB18 stands as his most successful Formula One design to date and is widely regarded as one of the most dominant cars ever to grace the circuit. The RB18 was propelled to greatness by a 740 BHP (544.64 KW) Red Bull RBPTH001 1.6 L direct injection V6 turbocharged engine. With Sergio Peréz finishing third in the Drivers' Standings, Red Bull secured their fifth Constructors' Championship, a feat they had not achieved since 2013. Competing in the 2022 Formula One World Championship, its status of greatness was sealed by Max Verstappen winning his second consecutive Drivers' Championship as well as the most Grand Prix wins in history.
