after Wake up veto Germany the decree adopted by Council and European Parliament last October 2022, when the sale ended internal combustion engine vehicles from 2035Europe is entering a new phase where it will be necessary to see how and under what conditions this purpose is produced.
The ‘yes’ from Germany came after accepting an offer to resume marketing of vehicles that use it. neutral synthetic fuels, a request from your hand german car lobby It is led by Porsche and supported by some premium vehicle manufacturers. Italian request asking for inclusion biodiesel In this category, however, the conventional internal combustion engine has an expiration date of 2035, but the synthetic gasoline internal combustion engine is not on sale, which will see its lifespan extended. Until 2050 use ban. These are the keys to understanding what it is. neutral synthetic fuels and what this scenario twist means for sustainable mobility.
Which cars can be sold?
They can be marketed in Europe from 2035 All internal combustion vehicles equipped with engines using synthetic fuels (‘e-fuels’) taken from neutral formsustainable and renewable energy. ‘E-fuel’ or synthetic fuels are fuels consisting mainly of: hydrogen (H2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). And why are they sustainable? Since CO2 is captured directly from the atmosphere, it cleans the air and the energy required for the hydrolysis process, which separates oxygen from hydrogen, is made using renewable energy sources. Obviously, you can sell them all too. 100% electric cars and hybrids or add-ons using ‘e-fuel’.
Can any internal combustion engine use ‘e-fuel’?
Yes. This ‘e-fuels’ could be used in existing internal combustion enginesWithout any adaptation. If you load ‘e-fuel’ or synthetic fuel into a petrol or diesel car today it will run fine. There are different types of e-diesel and e-gasoline. Fully compatible with existing engines. They will offer slightly different benefits than those achieved with conventional gasoline or diesel; Neither better nor worse, just different. Only it will be possible to maintain exactly the same benefits. adjusting the electronic part of the engine and without replacing or modifying any mechanical parts of the propeller. The engine will not need to be adapted to run on “e-fuel” or synthetic fuels.
Will it be possible to continue using any thermal means in 2035?
Yes. This is a prohibition of sale, but prohibition of use. Community regulations seek to restrict the use of such vehicles with fossil fuel engines, but Does not prohibit use until 2050from here can continue to be used any combustion vehicle up to that date. with or without ‘e-fuel’.
Will ‘e-fuel’ vehicles be able to enter ZBE?
If only one thinks what comes out of the exhaust pipe as before and not in sustainable process fuel generation changing the speed of the engine, same labeling. So, with petrol or diesel car without electric supportstill feeding ‘e-fuel’, It will not be possible to move freely in LEZs.
How much does ‘e-fuel’ cost?
Price is determined by volume. Right now they are more expensive because they are rarely produced. A study by the International Council for Clean Transport shows that the cost of synthetic fuels is approximately € 2.80 per liter in 2030. from the Volkswagen group, chairman Oliver Blumeaverage price in an ideal scenario. 2 euros per liter.
