However, the global potential for solar and wind energy is far greater than the study suggests. Solar radiation alone exceeds the current energy demand many times over.

There, eFuels are usually devalued as inefficient or not available in time. This results in the following methodological gaps:  <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Focus on individual sector analysis: <\/strong>The study assesses whether enough eFuels can be produced for passenger cars and comes to the conclusion that the quantities would not be sufficient. The fact that large-scale eFuels projects for aviation and shipping are planned at the same time (which are &#8220;indispensable&#8221; according to the study) is methodically ignored. This gives the impression that the demand for passenger cars can be considered separately from other sectors.  <\/li>\n<li><strong>Lack of focus on shared plants and infrastructure: <\/strong>If large eFuels plants for aviation are built in a region or country, these plants can also produce fuels for other applications (e.g. shipping, cars, chemical industry). Such bundling enables <strong>economies of scale<\/strong> (lower production costs per liter) instead of operating several small, isolated plants for just one sector. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Lack of learning curves due to sector coupling<\/strong>: The decisive cost-cutting effect of new technologies occurs when production and demand grow simultaneously (so-called learning curves). A large, cross-sector &#8220;eFuels market&#8221; (aviation, shipping, road transport, industry) accelerates this effect, reduces unit costs and improves profitability much faster than if eFuels were only used in some sectors.

However, the study overlooks the following points: <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Green surplus electricity<\/strong>: Especially in regions with constantly high solar or wind generation (deserts, offshore wind farms), large surpluses of renewable energy can occur at times. This energy would be unused without conversion. eFuels store it and make it usable worldwide. Efficiency alone is not sufficient as an evaluation metric if energy would otherwise lie idle. Instead of calculating the &#8220;efficiency&#8221; of the end product, we should look at the input electricity, which would otherwise remain unused.    <\/li>\n<li><strong>Long-term storage<\/strong>: eFuels can be stored over long periods of time without loss and transported over long distances &#8211; an advantage that battery electric storage systems cannot offer to the same extent.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost forecasts<\/strong>: The study often quotes prices of over 3.50 euros\/liter of eFuel. More recent studies (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efuels-forum.de\/en\/frontier-economics-investigation-of-the-costs-of-efuels-in-road-traffic\/\">Frontier Economics, 2025<\/a>) assume significantly lower production costs as soon as plants are running on a large scale and politicians do not unilaterally promote only electromobility.  <\/li>\n<li><b>Wrong conclusion when comparing costs<\/b>: In the F\u00d6S meta-study, the excessively high price of 3.50 euros\/liter is compared with a current price for fossil fuel of 2 euros\/liter, whereby fossil fuel is not suitable as a &#8220;comparison product&#8221; according to the climate targets for 2045. The comparison of mobility costs between battery-electric vehicles and e-fuel vehicles, on the other hand, is presented in the meta-study in a highly embellished way in favor of electromobility &#8211; a mix of vehicle costs and operating costs with unrealistic and unbalanced tax burdens is used as a basis, which does not stand up to a differentiated analysis. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Economies of scale<\/strong>: The development of other green technologies (e.g. photovoltaics) shows how quickly manufacturing capacities can grow. Even if the ramp-up takes time, it is realistic that production costs will fall significantly as capacity increases. The study draws a comparison with established structures in the fossil fuel industry instead of considering scenarios in which eFuels are specifically promoted and scaled up.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div> <\/div>\n<p><strong>In addition, pure cost comparisons often assume that fossil fuels will remain cheap in the long term. In a truly climate-neutral energy system, however, fossil fuels would become massively more expensive or be removed from the market altogether. The significantly higher acquisition costs for e-vehicles and the expensive expansion of the electricity grids are also barely mentioned in the F\u00d6S paper &#8211; even though they are crucial for the overall assessment.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-940a2b6 elementor-view-default elementor-position-block-start elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"940a2b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span  class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-exclamation-circle\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M504 256c0 136.997-111.043 248-248 248S8 392.997 8 256C8 119.083 119.043 8 256 8s248 111.083 248 248zm-248 50c-25.405 0-46 20.595-46 46s20.595 46 46 46 46-20.595 46-46-20.595-46-46-46zm-43.673-165.346l7.418 136c.347 6.364 5.609 11.346 11.982 11.346h48.546c6.373 0 11.635-4.982 11.982-11.346l7.418-136c.375-6.874-5.098-12.654-11.982-12.654h-63.383c-6.884 0-12.356 5.78-11.981 12.654z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSimply calculating efficiency is not enough when you consider infrastructure, storage, global surplus electricity and the existence of millions of existing vehicles.\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e04b963 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"e04b963\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c759c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9c759c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Environmental protection and mobility in rural areas: study assumptions fall short<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c79561d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c79561d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The study portrays eFuels as inefficient and harmful to the climate and health compared to battery electric cars. However, these conclusions are too short-sighted in many respects: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Resource and environmental balance<\/strong>: Battery electric vehicles also require considerable resources (lithium, nickel, cobalt) and need a dense charging network. Synthetic fuels avoid a massive conversion of existing infrastructure. It also shows that modern eFuels with optimized combustion technology can cause significantly lower local pollutant emissions than the factsheet suggests.  <\/li>\n<li><strong>Misleading conclusions on ADAC results:<\/strong> Although the study refers to ADAC data, it does not go into how the engines were tuned or which exhaust gas aftertreatments were used. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adac.de\/verkehr\/tanken-kraftstoff-antrieb\/alternative-antriebe\/e-fuels-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ADAC tests<\/a> showed significantly lower pollutant emissions in appropriately adapted vehicles than conventional combustion engines. However, such details are omitted and convey a distorted picture. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Particle emissions due to tire abrasion are not taken into account:<\/strong> In addition, the weight of modern battery vehicles is often higher than that of combustion engines, which can lead to increased tire wear and more particulate emissions. In rural areas with a high proportion of driving on country roads and highways, particulate pollution could potentially increase more than the study suggests.   <\/li>\n<li>The study often only compares a <strong>new e-car<\/strong> with a newly produced e-fuel combustion vehicle. In reality, however, hundreds of millions of combustion vehicles already exist. With eFuels, this stock can be operated quickly and in a climate-friendly way. This is an important advantage, especially for people who cannot immediately afford an e-car or have inadequate <strong>access to charging points<\/strong>.   <\/li>\n<li><strong>Existing infrastructure saves effort and costs<\/strong>: unlike electromobility, no completely new charging and supply structure needs to be created for eFuels. Thanks to existing filling station networks, transportation options and proven technology, eFuels can be quickly integrated into the existing infrastructure, which offers an immediate and cost-effective alternative, especially in rural regions. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97ad9da elementor-view-default elementor-position-block-start elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"97ad9da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span  class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-exclamation-circle\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M504 256c0 136.997-111.043 248-248 248S8 392.997 8 256C8 119.083 119.043 8 256 8s248 111.083 248 248zm-248 50c-25.405 0-46 20.595-46 46s20.595 46 46 46 46-20.595 46-46-20.595-46-46-46zm-43.673-165.346l7.418 136c.347 6.364 5.609 11.346 11.982 11.346h48.546c6.373 0 11.635-4.982 11.982-11.346l7.418-136c.375-6.874-5.098-12.654-11.982-12.654h-63.383c-6.884 0-12.356 5.78-11.981 12.654z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tA pure comparison of efficiency or emissions per vehicle ignores the bigger picture.

The factsheet &#8220;E-fuels and their limits &#8211; no alternative to the combustion engine phase-out&#8221; focuses heavily on scenarios in which e-fuels can only play a limited role, while other, more realistic ramp-up scenarios are barely considered. At the same time, there is a lack of comprehensive embedding in the global market development and the possible synergy effects with other Power-to-X applications. Individual core statements (e.g. on the importance of a massive expansion of renewable energies) are certainly correct, but fall short if eFuels are only presented as a niche solution.<br>Various studies on technology mix scenarios also suggest that a clever combination of e-mobility and eFuels can significantly reduce cumulative greenhouse gas emissions compared to purely battery-powered mobility &#8211; in some cases by up to 40 %. The prerequisite for this is funding that is open to all technologies and does not block the rapid ramp-up of eFuels. The question of how tax losses due to the loss of fossil fuels will be compensated for in the future must also be clarified, as this problem applies equally to e-mobility and eFuels.     <\/p>\n<p>In this respect, the factsheet can be described as <strong>methodologically incomplete<\/strong> and <strong>biased<\/strong> in some places. A <strong>thorough, data-based analysis<\/strong> would include a broader selection of sources, realistic ramp-up scenarios and a holistic view (including synergies, learning curves and global projects). <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-151114c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"151114c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Overall, this factsheet can be described as <strong>methodologically incomplete<\/strong> and in some places <strong>biased<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A thorough, data-based analysis would include a broader selection of sources, realistic ramp-up scenarios and a holistic view (including synergies, learning curves and global projects). It is therefore worth critically questioning supposedly &#8220;conclusive&#8221; judgments about eFuels and relying on a fact-based, open analysis. This is the only way to avoid being misled by incomplete arguments and to recognize the real potential of synthetic fuels for a sustainable future.
