During test runs, a converted Porsche 911 managed to climb Chile's highest volcano using e-fuel, a class of synthetic fuels, reaching 6,734 meters above sea level.

The e-fuel used comes from the Haru Oni pilot plant in southern Chile, which started operating in 2022. This plant produces 130,000 tons of fuel annually and aims to expand production if successful.

E-fuels are seen as a promising alternative in Chile due to cheap electricity prices, although production and transportation costs remain high. The EU also aims to increase the use of synthetic fuels to at least 5.7% by 2030, benefiting sectors like transportation and aviation.
