A T&E note outlines why allowing fuels – synthetic or bio – in cars makes no environmental, economic, or industrial sense.
E-fuels are being touted as a solution for cleaning up emissions from cars, but they come with a double cost. Not only would they derail the decarbonisation of the sector by slowing down electrification, but they would also weaken the competitiveness of Europe’s automotive industry.
By diverting investment away from electric vehicles, e-fuels would leave European manufacturers lagging behind their international competitors, jeopardising jobs and their global status in the transition to clean mobility. This short note outlines why allowing fuels (both synthetic and bio-) in cars makes no environmental, economic, or industrial sense, and why their role (if any) must be strictly limited with the highest sustainability criteria ensured.
