Bosch on importance of renewable synthetic fuels to reach climate goals; e-fuels

Green Car Congress

First, apply electricity generated from renewable sources to obtain hydrogen from water. Climate neutrality. Vehicles on the road, when powered by synthetic fuel, are ultimately climate-neutral. Innovative biofuels, which are, for example, produced from waste materials, are useful—however, the supply is limited.

Four Startups Aim to Change the Climate Tech Game

Cars That Think

Starting a company to develop an energy technology that fights climate change is hard—a lot harder than starting a software company. Renewell aims to seal these wells to prevent oil and gas leakage, then install systems that lift a weight to store power and drops the weight to send it out back out into the grid. Not really.”
