Just in case some may think e-fuel-powered cars stand a chance!

“As long as fuel is combusted in engines, toxic air will persist in our cities. Lawmakers who leave loopholes for e-fuels in emissions targets are condemning the public to decades more of avoidable air pollution,” said Julia Poliscanova, senior director for vehicles and e-mobility at T&E.

The tests compared e-fuel with E10 petrol, the standard blend in the EU, which includes 10% ethanol and 90% unleaded fossil fuel. They found that synthetic fuels emit similar levels of nitrogen oxides, almost three times more carbon monoxide, and up to twice the amount of ammonia.
