article_snippet.sent: Audi has created a so-called 'green' diesel fuel made using a combination of water and carbon dioxide.
article_snippet.sent: German car manufacturer described German car manufacturer breakthrough as the 'fuel of the future' and claims German car manufacturer could provide a carbon neutral way of powering vehicles.
article_snippet.sent: Audi claims to have created the fuel of the future - diesel (shown above) made from water and carbon dioxide. 
article_snippet.sent: Tests have shown it can be mixed with diesel from fossil fuels, or used as a fuel in it own right.
article_snippet.sent: Audi has already begun using the new e-diesel to power the official car of German minister of education and research Dr Johanna Wanka.
article_snippet.sent: Reiner Mangold, head of sustainable product development at Audi, said: 'In developing Audi e-diesel we are promoting another fuel based on carbon dioxide that will allow long‑distance mobility with virtually no impact on the climate.
article_snippet.sent: Audi's fuel was developed with Sunfire, a Dresden-based energy technology company.
article_snippet.sent: To make Audi's fuel, water is first heated to form steam which is then broken down into water constituent hydrogen and oxygen using high-temperature electrolysis.
article_snippet.sent: Audi claims the whole process can be powered using renewable energy and can be achieved with an efficiency of around 70%. 'blue crude' can then be refined in a similar way to standard crude oil to produce e-diesel. '
article_snippet.sent: The new fuel was developed by Audi along with Sunfire, a Dresden-based energy technology company.
article_snippet.sent: Audi claims the whole process can be powered using renewable energy and can be achieved with an efficiency of around 70 per cent. 'blue crude' can then be refined in a similar way to standard crude oil to produce e-diesel.
article_snippet.sent: Audi added that the synthetic fuel does not contain sulphur or hydrocarbon rings – known as aromatic hydrocarbons – which are found in crude oil and can create additional pollution.
article_snippet.sent: A special processing plant has been built in Dresden Reick and is set to produce 3,000 litres of e-diesel in the coming months.
article_snippet.sent: Audi said Audi also extracts carbon dioxide from the ambient air using 'direct air capturing'.
article_snippet.sent: By capturing emissions from power plants and removing clean and storable hydrogen fuel from the air, Audi says Audi new fuel can be used without adding to the burden of gas in the atmosphere.
article_snippet.sent: The project is the latest attempt by Audi to produce more environmentally friendly fuels for The project vehicles.
article_snippet.sent: Audi has already begun using the new e-diesel to power the official car of German minister of education and research Dr Johanna Wanka.
article_snippet.sent: German minister of education is pictured testing the new fuel in German minister of education official car .
article_snippet.sent: In 2009 it announced a project to produce e-gas - a form of synthetic methane – for use in its g-tron gas powered vehicles.
article_snippet.sent: At the launch of the new e-diesel, Dr Wanka put five litres of the new fuel into Dr Wanka official Audi A8.
article_snippet.sent: Dr Wanka said: 'This synthetic diesel, made using carbon dioxide, is a huge success for our sustainability research. '
highlights_snippet.sent: Audi claims Audi e-diesel is carbon neutral without adding to climate change .
