A new meta study destroys the hope of e-fuel as a life benefit for combustion vehicles. The research comes to a devastating judgment: e-fuel is not a feasible alternative to the planned combustion engine due to high costs, lack of availability and low efficiency.
The Meta study of the Denkfabrik Forum Comnodern Economic Market Economy (fös) on behalf of the Climate Alliance Germany, is a systematic assessment of an available area. For this purpose, the fools have merged the findings of the General German Automobile Club (ADAC), the German environmental minister, the Fraunhofer Institute for System and Innovation Research (Fraunhofer Isi) and the International Energy Agency (IEA).
E-fuel in the automotive sector are “Fata Morgana”
According to the meta study, even with high state subsidies by 2035, there will be insufficient amounts of e-fuel to achieve the climate goals. By 2045, the car population in Europe therefore needs to be almost completely electrified, while e-fuel vehicles will only play a marginal role.
“The Meta study shows that those who question the European combustion engine are misleading car buyers,” says Stefanie Langkamp, director of Climate Alliance. E-fuel in the automotive sector is a “Fata Morgana” and not an alternative to E-cars.
E-fuel is really logical here
According to the meta study, 150 wind turbines on land can supply 240,000 electricity electricity electricity cars, but only 37,500 combustion engine with e-fuel. “With the same amount of electricity, more than six times as many vehicles can be managed electrically,” explains Matthias Runkel, head of transport and financial policy at the blowjes and author of the study.
According to Runkel, electric cars are also much more climate-friendly, because “if you look at the entire life cycle, E-cars cause 40 to 50 percent fewer CO2 emissions than with e-fuel cars”. According to the experts, scarce e-fuel sources must be used earlier for difficult to electrify from sectors such as air and shipping traffic, because they are “indispensable” there.
EU puts pressure on the manufacturer
The EU had decided that from 2035 only new cars had to be approved, which will not broadcast climate CO2 during the operation. Finally, the Middle Rights Alliance EPP wanted to undo the so -called combustion engine. At the time of the FDP, the then German government had campaigned for the fact that there should be exceptions for the so-called e-fuel.
