Excerpt

The article explores the critical role of synthetic and biological fuels in combating climate change, drawing parallels with the Covid pandemic response. It underscores the EU's push for rapid adoption of these fuels and Germany's supportive policies. The author argues that a technology-neutral approach is essential, considering the vast number of vehicles globally and the limitations of current electricity storage and grid infrastructure. The article highlights that e-fuels and bio-fuels can be as effective as electric drives in reducing greenhouse gas emissions over a vehicle's lifetime. It calls for a systemic view of energy carriers and converters to leverage the potential for sustainable CO2 reduction, emphasizing the need for a balanced discussion involving science, policy, industry, and media.
