Electric cars are currently experiencing an upward trend. Widespread promotion will make purchasing more palatable to consumers. For the purpose of environmentally friendly mobility, motorists buy a new e-vehicle which, although it is largely CO2-neutral locally in operation, emits large amounts of CO2 in the production and recycling of the battery. In a life cycle analysis, battery electric vehicles are therefore anything but climate-neutral. But current subsidies make buying an e-car seem lucrative; so waste is occurring on multiple levels.
Hydrogen cars are fueled with hydrogen. Fuel cells use electrolysis to generate electricity from this to operate the vehicle. The consumer must also purchase these vehicles in addition. In addition, there is currently no suitable infrastructure covering the entire country for either type of drive.
The use of eFuels is much less complicated and easier to implement in everyday life. Once the new synthetic fuels have reached market maturity, they can simply be refueled at a service station. The existing and closely meshed network of filling stations can be used for this purpose. So there is no need to build additional worldwide charging points like for electromobility & hydrogen cars.
The transition tolower CO2 mobility with eFuels is easy to implement: eFuels can already be refueled in today’s combustion vehicles. Nothing changes for the consumer during the changeover, except that they use a different energy source that produces up to 90% fewer new emissions. During production, approximately as much carbon dioxide is bound as is subsequently released during combustion.
This significantly reduces the ecological footprint of driving operations. From an ecological point of view, it is also important to know that the emission of soot is by far not as high as, for example, in the case of a diesel engine. for a conventional car that fills up with fossil fuel from petroleum.
A major additional benefit is that eFuels can replace petroleum in many different areas. Not only cars, but also trucks, airplanes, passenger and freight trains, and even ships can run on synthetic gasoline & diesel. In addition, it will be possible to heat with eFuels. They are a full substitute for conventional fossil fuels and heating oil.
