The production of synthetic petrol moves closer to Denmark's borders when the Swedish race track 'Gotland Ring' establishes a production plant for sustainable fuel.
The Gotland Ring in Sweden, which aims to be a sustainable race track, is now joining forces with the German company P1 Fuels to establish an e-fuel facility at the race track.
The facility will produce synthetic gasoline that can be used in internal combustion engines.
The collaboration is part of a larger effort to promote smart infrastructure and e-mobility initiated by the World Ecological Forum and Gotland Ring.
– While battery-powered propulsion and energy storage are essential, e-fuels are an important supplement to both propulsion and energy storage, explains Alec Arho-Havrén, founder of the Gotlands ring and the World Ecological Forum.
– The internal combustion engine can be made sustainable with e-fuels, which will also be necessary for ships and planes in the future to combat climate change, he elaborates.

P1 Fuels is already active in fossil-free fuels and has collaborations with various actors including Gumball 3000 and car manufacturers such as Toyota, Ford and Nissan. The company has also supplied e-fuel to several Formula 1 events.
– Gotland Ring is excited about this collaboration, which will make it the first racetrack to supply production and distribution of P1 Fuel's unique sustainable fuel.
– It will supplement the already existing ultra-fast charging infrastructure [400 kW] on the Gotlandsringen.
– The industry and enthusiasts can find a sustainable propulsion for any chore toy that chores on the 7.3 km picturesque speedway, built in a former limestone quarry, says Martin Popilka who is the director of P1 Fuels in a press release .
The next step is an investigation to establish a timetable for the project. P1 Fuels and Gotland Ring are open to potential investors and partners.
