FUEL FOR THOUGHT

Since the UK Government announced a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030, it’s been clear that electric cars will be central to a more sustainable future. However, man-made e-fuels might also have a role to play. The European Union recently agreed to exempt cars that run on e-fuel from its ban on new combustion-engined vehicles in 2035.This means these cars can still be sold in the EU after that date, provided they’re fitted with tech to prevent the use of fossil fuels in them. So, what exactly are e-fuels? Are they a potential alternative to electric power, and are we likely to see them being used in the UK to power new or existing cars? George Hill has the answers
