T&E: tests show cars powered by electrofuels emit high levels of criteria pollutants

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 7, 2021

E-fuels are made by combining green hydrogen with CO 2 to produce liquid fuel that can be similar to gasoline or diesel used in conventional engines (as well as kerosene used in aviation). The emissions were compared to the standard E10 EU gasoline. However, said T&E, particle pollution was far from eliminated. aromatics).
