Joule

Accelerating the Availability of Sustainable, Carbon-Neutral Fuels

Audi chose to align with Joule in support of its ambitious vision for CO₂-neutral mobility. This vision, in part, calls for increasing levels of renewable fuels to supplant petroleum-derived fuels and reduce related CO₂ emissions. The strategic partnership will directly enable Audi’s e-ethanol and e-diesel programs.

The collaboration was announced as part of Audi future lab: mobility

Audi selected Joule as its exclusive partner in the development of biologically-derived ethanol and diesel following extensive evaluations of Joule’s proprietary technology and commercial plans. The relationship will help spur production of Joule Sunflow-E and Sunflow-D, including fuel testing and validation, lifecycle analysis and support for Joule’s SunSprings demonstration facility located in Hobbs, New Mexico. For Audi, the agreement fits with its stated objective to become a carbon-neutral personal transportation provider for generations to come.
