Even when we reach the limit of our carbon budget, when burning any more oil, coal or gas will push global temperatures beyond 2 degrees celsius, the E&B business model is to harvest more oil so that it can be burned as fuel. There is no limit to the amount of pollution they are willing to cause. Mann , The Monkey Wrench Gang.

Audi remains convinced of the potential of the fuels e-gas, “e-benzin” (e-gasoline) and e-diesel and is continuing to pursue its e-fuels strategy. The fuel is free of sulfur and benzene and is therefore especially low in pollutants when it burns. It originates in part from the company’s own power-to-gas plant in Werlte (Emsland).
