„Not much space for e-fuels in road transport The (suppliers to the) automotive industry promote e-fuels as an alternative solution to the phasing out of the internal combustion engine for cars and trucks. This is a foolish idea given the poor efficiency and resulting higher costs for drivers, manufacturers and society more broadly. However, given the low ambition of the target, the multipliers at work and a push for e-fuels in aviation and shipping, there is little hope that e-fuels will ever make a significant contribution to the decarbonisation of road transport.“
„In negotiations on when and how to phase out the combustion engine, Member States should not promote e-fuels (or CO2 neutral fuels) in road transport as an alternative to zero-emission vehicles.“
