e-CH2T smart technologies for the mobility of tomorrow - Win a refuelling session with certified TUBAF fuel!
The use of CO2-neutral, synthetic liquid fuels is a climate-friendly addition to electric and hydrogen-based mobility. So-called "eFuels" can not only directly replace fuels from fossil sources, but can also be mixed with them without hesitation. In addition to reducing CO2 emissions in existing vehicle fleets, future areas of application include aviation in particular, but also shipping and heavy goods transport.
We at TUBAF operate Europe's largest demonstration plant for the production of sustainable synthetic methanol-based petrol. This was planned and implemented in close cooperation with our long-standing industrial partner CAC ENGINEERING GMBH, which is one of the three world market leaders in this petrol technology.
Would you like to see for yourself? Come to our mobile petrol station, talk to our experts and take part in our fuel quiz. All quiz participants will be entered into a prize draw to win 10 fill-ups with our certified E10 petrol produced at TUBAF (max. 30 litres each)!
We look forward to seeing you and wish you a safe journey!
