Does synthetic fuel save the climate? After the dispute about the ban on internal combustion engines in the EU, which ended with a bet on so-called e-fuels under pressure from Germany and other countries with a strong car (supply) industry, climate-friendly fuels are on everyone’s lips and could even drive us out of our dependence on raw materials to liberate China. But what is the truth of these promises and what are the politics hiding?
On Wednesday afternoon, the car summit initiated by Nehammer will take place in the Federal Chancellery, which should discuss the future of the car industry in Austria. Representatives from science and industry are invited. One of the topics will be funding research into e-fuels. In view of the up to 80,000 employees in the entire automotive sector in Austria, the Chancellor recently spoke out against a definitive end to internal combustion engines.
