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.

One of the main impediments to harnessing solar energy is storage. Solar batteries work as a short-term solution, but not when it comes to long-term storage or to power, say, an entire city. Solar energy and oil wells might sound like an odd combination, but the principle is similar to how geothermal energy would be harnessed.
