Climate

The car gives carbon back to the ground.

The wheels are electric. A quiet generator makes the electricity. On Sub Zero methanol, with carbon locked as graphite, the plant takes more CO₂ from the air than the exhaust returns.

+3.6 kg

Exhaust

3.3 litres of methanol per 100 km. The burn is +3.6 kg of CO₂. The same carbon is taken back at the fuel plant.

−6.0 kg

Capture at the fuel plant

Obrist capture draws CO₂ and water from the air. More is taken than the generator will emit.

−2.4 kg

Carbon lock

The surplus is locked as solid graphite. That is the atmospheric result: −2.4 kg per 100 km.

From air, to the wheel, to the lock

  1. 01

    Egypt’s sun

    Electrolysis makes hydrogen from the desert sun.

  2. 02

    Obrist DAC

    The plant pulls more CO₂ and water from air than the fuel needs.

  3. 03

    Synthesis

    Hydrogen and CO₂ become Sub Zero methanol, then the tank.

  4. 04

    ZVG on board

    A quiet generator makes electricity. The e-motor drives the wheels.

  5. 05

    cSink

    Surplus carbon is locked as solid graphite. It does not return to the air.

The fuel

Renewable methanol, from captured CO₂ and green hydrogen, made with Egypt’s sun and wind, and sold through the fuel network the country already has.

How the battery is charged

The car is always driven by its electric motor. A compact methanol generator holds one steady point and charges the pack while the car moves.

What that does for the battery

  • A much smaller pack than a battery-electric car of the same size.
  • The cells stay in a narrow middle state of charge, the gentlest window for a long life.
  • Charging on board is slow and steady, so a fast-charge stop is not required.
  • Each gigawatt-hour from Safaga therefore equips more vehicles.

Below about 60–80 km/h the car is battery-electric. Above that the generator charges, and range passes 1,000 km. The pack is 17 kWh. The generator is Euro 7, about 40–45 kW, or up to 110 kW with the turbo.

On petrol the same generator is about +4.6 kg per 100 km. The decree’s climate result holds when Sub Zero methanol and the carbon lock are what the car runs on.

Obrist published −24 g/km (AMS, FOCUS, ÖAMTC). Exhaust is derived from 3.3 litres per 100 km. Capture and lock: Obrist Group.
