Electromobility is just now picking up momentum; further, electric cars are only as emissions-free as the production of electricity that charges their batteries. One path to achieving this is with renewable synthetic fuels (e-fuels). Renewable synthetic fuels have long since left the basic research phase. Then add carbon.
