Proponents claim that if renewable electricity is used and CO 2 is captured from the air, then the e-gasoline and e-diesel are climate-neutral fuels that will also reduce pollution. However, said T&E, particle pollution was far from eliminated. Carbon monoxide emissions were much higher with the e-gasoline blends tested.
