The French are punished by supply interruptions at service stations.

Thus, the government continues the discount of 30 centimes/l at gas stations until mid-November.@TotalEnergies also extends its discount of 20 centimes/l for the same period. pic.twitter.com/u7EdYWGliB

As you know, in a few years the heat engine will be completely banned in Europe. Indeed, a few weeks ago the European Commission voted to completely ban internal combustion cars on the territory by 2035. If they can still be driven, manufacturers, on the other hand, will be prohibited from selling new ones at dealerships. . Which causes a wave of indignation among motorists, as well as associations and among manufacturers. But some are trying to find alternatives to continue offering thermal models. Because if Europe demands a 100% reduction in emissions of pollutantsso it leaves the door open to a variety of engines other than electric.

There is an exception to the end of sales of diesel cars in 2035, voted by the European Parliament: luxury cars (Ferrari, etc.). Of course, there are not many of them, so the emissions will be limited, but for the symbol and social justice will have to be ironed pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE

A loophole that can be used

In fact, the texts do not indicate that electricity will be the only possible solution. Indeed, it is quite possible that the public authorities will actually allow the sale of thermal cars after 2035, provided that they use fuel” carbon neutral“. So this logically leaves room for alternatives other than all-electric that would allow for thermal models. For example, Porsche and Lamborghini are working on alternative fuels, cleaner because they do not use oil and non-renewable energy sources. But other companies are working on other types of solutions that are also very promising. In particular, this applies to Shell, which joined forces with Global Bioenergies to develop a new, cleaner fuel.

.

Almost no emissions

Two companies are indeed working to develop a very low-carbon alternative derived from bio raw material. Little is known at this time, but this decision will be ” reduction of CO2 emissions by approximately 70% compared to oil fuel during the entire cycle of production and use according to Global Bioenergies. The firm also adds that this decision will allow to produce ” real essences from plant raw materials with the same molecules as in the oil“. Therefore, this fuel could be used after 2035 if the tests are conclusive.

⚠ Fuel transfer – beware of poisoning ⚠

In conditions of fuel shortage, the number of poisonings due to siphons increased 5 times.
