These negotiations would give synthetic fuels some room for development, after the EU reached an agreement in February that from 2035 only vehicles that emit no CO2 can be sold.
German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, has assured that negotiations between the German government and the European Commission to allow synthetic fuel vehicles to be sold after 2035 are “on the right track”.
“If I understand correctly, the talks between the Commission and the federal government, between the Commissioner responsible and the Minister responsible, are all on the right track,” Scholz told the press on his arrival at the summit that will be held today and tomorrow. held in Brussels. by the European leaders, where the matter is not on the official agenda, but is planned.
The EU Member States, the Commission and the European Parliament have reached an agreement so that from 2035 only vehicles that emit no CO2 can be sold in the EU, which was endorsed by the plenary of the European Parliament last February.
The commitment, focused primarily on the electric vehicle, but without specifying the type of engines to be used, included a 2026 update from the Community Executive on the synthetic fuels to leave a certain margin of development for this technology currently unaffordable compatible with combustion engine.
But when the countries had to formally ratify the agreement, Germany, the largest car manufacturer in the European Union, changed its position and now calls for more projection for synthetic fuelsWhat are they neutral in CO2 emissions Good are made with hydrogen and captured carbon previously or obtained from biomass.
Germany is negotiating with the Commission on the suitability of synthetic fuels in legislation which, however, cannot be changed as a result of these talks and will therefore generally ban the sale of new internal combustion engine cars from 2035 onwards.
