There are growing doubts among experts about the “clean image” of electric cars – not only because of the huge CO2 rucksack they carry from their life cycle, but also because they are currently often charged with “coal power”.
In an article in the DVZ, Professor Thomas Willner sums this up once again. “He does not consider electric vehicles to be clean, as they increase the consumption of coal-fired electricity. The European fleet limits should therefore not only include e-cars or e-trucks, but also alternative fuels. Climate protection would be best served if the major oil, gas and coal-producing countries left the raw materials in the ground and found alternatives instead.”
So alternatives are needed! And this is precisely where Professor Willner and Anika Sievers, both professors at the University of Applied Sciences (HAW), provide the right answer – according to the DVZ article, with a new process that can be used to produce diesel and gasoline from waste oils.
