The results show there is no realistic pathway to full decarbonization of internal combustion engine vehicles, and that only battery and hydrogen fuel-cell EVs have potential to be very low-GHG passenger vehicle pathways. Natural gas does not offer climate benefits compared to gasoline and diesel, and many biofuel pathways do not, either.
