Excerpt

The article delves into the complex interplay between focus and diversification in energy policy, particularly in the context of the current energy crisis and the European Green Deal. It argues that the past criticism of relying too heavily on Russian gas and oil has been validated, and that a similar mistake may be repeated with current CO2 legislation. The author emphasizes the need to address the CO2 emissions of the existing vehicle fleet with reduced fuels, particularly e-fuels, to effectively combat climate change. The piece also underscores the importance of considering the broader system boundaries and the strategic importance of chemical energy sources in a CO2-neutral future. It concludes by advocating for a shift from a dogmatic focus to a focused diversification of CO2-reducing measures to address the trilemma of sustainability, affordability, and supply security.
