Extreme H will be part of this experiment with clean energy supply.
#Extreme race in cordoba series
The race series has been using it as an off-grid power source since the beginning, and in Neom this year the racing event was entirely powered by Hydrogen. James MorrisĮxtreme E’s relationship with hydrogen goes far beyond the cars themselves, however. The Neom, Saudi Arabia Extreme E race is already entirely powered by hydrogen. In theory that would be carbon neutral, too.” Obviously, that would be pushing the argument a little too far for comfort. In theory, oil comes from forests that absorbed CO2 millions of years ago, which you are releasing back to the atmosphere. If you want to believe that you can.” This is the theory of e-fuels, where the CO2 emitted was captured beforehand by plants or carbon capture. “But the leaves of the plant of the cigar in Cuba has absorbed CO2 that I'm releasing. “I smoke cigars, and people say they are emitting CO2,” he says. But the technology is not ready yet, so we cannot go racing next year with combustion of hydrogen because there is more development to do.”Īgag also isn’t convinced by the carbon neutrality of combustion e-fuels. Having a testbed of commercial hydrogen will be very useful. Combustion of hydrogen could be the solution in the future. The price of e-fuels is going to be for special situations. I think maybe e-fuels, but this is a technology that is very niche and Formula One for me shouldn't be niche, it should be a technology that can be deployed for mass adoption. But I will be very surprised if they're not combustion. They will have new regulations in 2030 to 35.
“They have the regulations now already set for 2024, 25 and 26. “What's Formula One going to do in the future technology-wise, in 2035?” asks Agag. Every motor racing format is struggling with these questions.
