A detailed analysis of policy pathways leading to such a decarbonised electricity supply in the UK is outside the scope of this study. In particular, the fiscal measures alone may render petrol/diesel powered vehicles prohibitively expensive compared with say, PEVs.

In a 2011 study, a team from MAN Truck & Bus noted that: CO 2 can be recycled into methanol by reaction with electrolysis hydrogen. Methanol is a petrol and not suitable as a diesel fuel component, but can be dehydrated to form dimethyl ether (DME) with a high cetane number. The comparative figure for diesel is 113 g/km CO 2.).

In addition, it is subject to similar refining, storage and distribution costs currently associated with petrol and diesel, including upstream CO2 emissions where the electricity required is usually generated from fossil fuels. Fourth, like all fossil fuels hydrogen is highly volatile, far more so than petrol.

The NRL work was followed by a presentation of work being done at the University of Liverpool (UK) on the electrochemical reduction of CO 2 , focused on surface structures of copper electrodes and the role of solution-based copper species for their catalytic effect on the reaction.

We would recommend signalling a phase-out date for new petrol vehicles between 2030 and 2032, and confirming that in law in 2024/2025. On the demand side, an ICE phase-out is easy to communicate to consumers, which will increase the perception that petrol-powered vehicles are becoming socially unacceptable.
