E-fuels in trucks: criticisms debunked

November 16, 2022

A study on e-fuels in trucks by Transport & Environment (T&E) found that e-fuels make no economic or environmental sense in trucks. In response, fossil fuel industry lobby groups have accused T&E of cherry-picking the results, but here we debunk each of their points.

This Q&A addresses questions made in response to the publication of the study E-fuels in trucks: expensive, scarce, and less green than batteries, published on 15 November 2022. Other potential questions related to the study’s modelling have also been included.
