The issue of banning the sale of new thermal cars from 2035 in Europe is quite complex.

last days many countries as Italy and Germany challenged this is the solution.

Readiness Germany is simple: integrate synthetic fuel as an exception that can pass law.

Research on the topic

A big question about synthetic fuel is at the level of CO2 emissions. Do we really have a neutral fuel for A planet?

To answer the this questionstudies have been conducted by organizations to protect environment.

The results clear: e-fuels have almost the same CO2 footprint than a 100% electric caraccepting all its lifespan is taken into account, from design to circulation.

Indeed, let us recall, production and processing battery this is what costs throw away the most CO2 in the air.

Numbers that don’t lie

Why synthetic fuel almost no pollution? Just in process production the fuel itself.

Based on the figures for the full life cycle of an electric car, it will emit on average 162 g/km of CO2.

These numbers may vary depending on use of the specified vehicle and your driving style.

If we compare with other engines, we find plug-in hybrid Diesel 101 g/km and synthetic fuel at 99 g/km.

What is the future?

So what might the future of synthetic fuels hold? In general, at the will of the authorities reduce maximum CO2 emissions, this the best alternative.

Indeed so electric cars European Unions pollute less than cars running on synthetic fuel, so the entire fleet of electric cars must be equipped with batteries produced in Europe.

However, with the latest decisions and the help of Joe Biden, manufacturers are starting move in the USA.

It remains to be seen what the decision of the European Commission will be adoption synthetic fuel in the law of 2035.
